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

 Hi there

Regarding inviting different parties, it is a big problem during election
period especially because I believe it is NOT enough just to have proof to
have invited the parties. Election rules governed that we need to represent
the main parties views at each of the debate or at least overall in our
programme output during the election period.

Mind you, we are under the commercial licence, not community licence, so the
rule might be different. I think the rules do not apply for internet
broadcast neither.

Does CMA has the latest Ofcom guidelines on the General Election? I have
been told there are a few changes this year.

  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.

Steve

'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
