[cma-l] Traffic news on community radio - do you want it?

[Fox, Chris (ChS, Youthcomm)]

Hi Jaqui

We would certainly be interested in the free idea!

We do broadcast local travel news during peak time hours, and we source
it, with agreement, from the local BBC website (who in turn get it from
trafficlink of course).

Having our own direct access to it would be preferable though, as
sometimes the BBC website is slow to update, and it covers a larger area
than ours so we have to manually filter through the updates - being able
to login and quickly see updates just for our defined area would be
helpful!

Regards

Chris
Station Manager
Youthcomm Radio

Dear all

We are in negotiation with Trafficlink to explore the possibility of a 
deal, either free or very low cost per annum, for the community radio 
sector to have access to local and regional traffic news.  We need to 
know how many of the licensed stations might be interested in carrying 
this, also if you could afford to pay something towards the service, how

much you would be prepared to pay per annum.

Obviously we would prefer that it is free for stations wanting to carry 
it.  We are aware that a few of you do already pay for traffic news - if

you do, it would be very helpful if you could let me know, privately of 
course, how much you are being charged.

Please could you let me know if you are interested in being part of any 
potential deal,

With thanks

Jaqui
