[cma-l] FW: Call for entries for Pick and Mix

[Bill Best]

Hi

Very good point, Peter.

The CMA has been in contact with this project to find out some more details.

The idea is to make a one hour programme showcasing community radio
from across the UK and the aim is "to keep things as simple as
possible and as open to change as possible as it is experimental at
the moment".

The project is run by a BBC journalist with a community radio
background and this is something that they are undertaking in their
spare time.

The CMA neither endorses nor would we be in disagreement with this initiative.

Best regards

Bill
