On 8 November 2018, Rough Trade announced the availability of vinyl LP and CD versions of "I Trawl the Megahertz", including a white vinyl special edition of 1000 copies. On the same day, Sony Music announced the release under their "Legacy" brand. The Sony press release notes that although this was originally a solo album, it is now fitting to classify it as a Prefab Sprout record. Paddy McAloon is quoted as saying: "I thought we could do anything. And Megahertz is true to that spirit. The music here is of a piece with everything I’ve ever written. It’s from the heart". Then on 10 December 2018, Paddy McAloon featured in an interview on the "Today" programme on BBC Radio 4.
