[cma-l] BBC Radio 5Live wants you to do phone ins for them - We're All in This Together

[jaqui devereux]

Dear all

Just passing on the request from the BBC is all.  No problem if you do not
want to take part, though I tend on the whole to agree with Claire and
Shirley that it would be good profile for the sector and your own station
locally...

Best wishes

Jaqui
