[cma-l] BBC Locals to remove 'Radio'

[Steven Suttie]

How about BBC local radio keeps its existing livery - and the licence 
payers cash that is being laundered on this ridiculous initiative gets 
shared out among the community stations?

I'm sure its going to cost a fortune for Aunty to pay for new 
letterheads, pens, mousemats, t shirts, cups, stickers, dj photocards 
and blah blah at every single local station. More, I'd think than the 
DCMS annual £550,000 for community radio. I'd be intrigued to learn the 
actual budget available for this incredible waste of the BBC's free money.

No doubt this debate will rage on and on - but regardless of Jonathan 
Ross' salary et al - the corporation are taking the Michael!

And it hurts when community radio as a sector still isn't getting a look 
in at any decent funding.

But I'm not bitter!
