[cma-l] Libel insurance for radio stations

[Julian Mellor]

Hi all

While budgeting and gradually working towards 
launching full time onto a suspecting public next 
January, the big issue of insurance has raised 
its (ugly) head.

I've seen the discussion on this list from last 
April, but was wondering if other stations also 
get cover for libel?   And/or do you get 
presenters (all of ours will be volunteers) to 
indemnify you against what they might say on air?

Cost indications for PLI, ELI and property cover 
have come in at c.£1800 - which brought tears to 
my eyes.  What do others pay?

Thanking you in advance

Julian

PS  And thanks to everyone who gave help in July 
with child protection policies.  We eventually 
managed to  craft one that fits on one page and 
it proved sufficient for a youth focused funder. 
Let me know if you want a copy.
