300 KW. Broadcasting on 234 KHz, public service broadcaster Danmarks Radio (DR) has used
the station around the clock for its national Program 1 service. Though, as part of
budget-saving measures, it is switched on only for special transmissions, DR is
determined to continue renting the location for the next five years." I don't know
how 'around the clock' can equate to 'only for special transmissions'...

I believe 243 kHz (rather than 234, an apparent typo) operated full time
until a few years ago, when it was shut off due to lack of listeners and
large power bills. The rest of the network (mainly FM) continues to
operate 24/7. It would have been more clear if they'd said "it is now
switched on..."
