[cma-l] DCMS Written answers and statements, 19 October 2010 - Local Broadcasting: Radio

[Office - ccr-fm]

Trev and all

 

I ain’t arguing with anyone, I am simply standing by what I believe in. I
was the one 18 months ago who said we are wasting our time pussyfooting
around MP’s 

. Furthermore, there is no argument whatsoever against
everyone receiving the same amount.

 

It ain’t difficult and it’s fair.

 

No one has posted anything yet 







.. ?????       everyone must agree
with me !              if that’s the case, let’s get on with it.

 

Whack it out evenly and cancel the next round of applications.

 

Regards

 

Nick

I cannot argue with your proposition. It's easy to implement and fair.

 

Rural stations do not get any substantive support, that I really do know.

 

£500K is peanuts - but we must ask ourselves why we are so disregarded.
Every presentation about UK broadcasting fails to recognise community media.
Given that we have 600 members, 235 with FM licences, all involved with
broadcasting then we are doing something wrong. We have power, we have
influence, we also have an attitude of subservience, like poor peasants
pulling at our forelocks, cap in hand, grateful for the scraps thrown at us
by our masters.

 

Someone amongst us must be capable of producing a 10 minute audio/video that
we can all broadcast, and keep broadcasting (with variations) until all our
listeners understand how we are treated.

 

We don't have to argue amongst ourselves - we need to motivate our audience
to apply pressure upon the government. We do that by broadcasting. Sending
pleading emails or letters to MPs do nothing. 

 

Please agree with me. I'd do it myself but I'm trying to raise funds to keep
our little station going, and as we are all volunteers life ain't easy.

 

Whatever, let's keep smiling and making sure we give our audiences what they
want. We need thm all to remain on our side.
