[cma-l] [CMA members] Press Releases - ONE PER CENT

[Two Lochs Radio]

I agree with the recent postings from Michael, Trevor and Marilyn.

But the CMA Council doesn't agree with us, or else why would it have produced such a wishy-washy guaranteed-to-be-ignored press release? That's their right unless a majority of members clearly indicates otherwise.

(Actually, it's the second time in the past year that as far as I am concerned the Council has totally wimped out on something and really let down the membership by throwing away a real opportunity.)

Praise where it's due though, to the moderators for allowing the very constructive debate on to the mailing lists.

I'm away for the next couple of days (going south to an SCBN committee meeting in Glasgow, where this may be a topic of discussion!)

  Dear All,
   
  The whole point of ONE PER CENT (or an equivalent amount) is that it is a realistic amount.  Who can argue with a group that is asking for ONE PER CENT?  
  This 'one per cent of the licence fee' could capture the imagination of the news media, and may lead to positive publicity for community media.  We have nothing to lose - but time is running out to make the most of this PR promotion.  Once the election is over, we join every other group who is asking for money!
   
  Go for it!

  At Felixstowe Radio we'll join in any campaign - but that last press release presents an image that would look good on the flyer for 'Oliver'.
  Sorry chaps. Don't be discouraged, but do lose the begging bowl approach. We have a lot to offer.
