[cma-l] BBC funding for local TV/Not local radio

[Office - ccr-fm]

Guys

 

I don’t understand this either ?         however, my only comment would be
that if there is this amount of money floating around (which clearly there
is) why don’t we get the Community Radio sector sorted out first, before we
start buggering around with TV 









. If it ends up anything like the
stations they’ve got in America !   my suggestion is can it now ?
what a load of codswallop !

 

The Government ministers, the BBC and all appear to making a right balls-up
of this lot without even trying 

.. talk about doing things with ones eyes
shut.

 

Keep going guys 
 we’ll get there.

 

In fact, if this comes off and community radio doesn’t get a slice of the
cake, the BBC and the government can stick my licence fee where the sun
doesn’t shine 
. I’m not giving them £150 pounds a year to spend on this
nonsense, I’d rather give it to a community station who are still trying to
raise money for a licence. I’d love to stand in front of a man with a silly
whig, if only just to say my peace/piece (which one?)                      I
maybe wouldn’t get anywhere and have to pay £45 costs, but I’d feel a damn
site better and it would possibly be the best £45 quid I’d ever spent ?!

 

Regards

 

Nick

Why, why, why not funding for community radio. Unfortunately seemingly our
goose is cooked for this settlement as this government has gone off half
cocked already.
