[cma-l] Community Radio Politics Programme - Please Help!

[F a r i]

Hi Steve, we did a few at Resonancefm which I produced, they were one-offs.

Are you preparing for a series? What are the particular problems you are having?

If you are exposing the politicians to callers, you might find they are 'too busy' to come on the show. A way around this is to give them emails from listeners in advance which they can choose to answer on air, thereby circumventing any embarrassing confrontations.

Not all the parties we invited came up but as long as I had proof they were invited, we were covered.

'build it and they shall come'

Especially with the slightly fevered nature of Salford politics 2010, once one councillor/agent/MP appears, they'll all want in...

Get your guests for Programme 1 and the rest will follow....



best wishes & good luck,

Phil

Dear Colleagues,
 
I hope you can help!
 
For 6 months we have been trying without success to get a regular local 
politics show on the air - and although there is lots of enthusiasm from 
councillors and party leaders at talk level, we can't seem to actually pin 
anything down and get it started!
 
Is anybody else having similar difficulties?
 
We have a passionate and knowledgeable presenter waiting to get it started 
- but we just can't seem to get the thing going!! 
 
If you are running a successful local politics show - please can you offer 
any advice on how you got it off the ground?
 
I'm very conscious that the elections will soon be dominating the headlines 
and I'd like to get this sorted sooner rather than later! Any help will be most 
gratefully received!
 
Many thanks, and have a lovely weekend.
 
Kindest 
Regards
