[cma-l] Community radio - get your news from the BBC?

[Office - ccr-fm]

Well said Jaqui 







. I didn’;t want to post anything about it just in
case some people thought ‘’here we go again, that whinging bugger in East
Cheshire’’

 

The price rise is ridiculous 





 I wouldn’t mind, but the service has
gone down from 3 minutes to 2 which I personally think is a shame (I did let
them know by the way at the time)        furthermore, some of the main
stories in the World / National news don’t get included or if they do, it’s
basically lipservice.

 

They’re not bad 



 but they ain’t good either 



. Sorry guys if you are
reading this. I think the presenters/newscasters are excellent though and
come across very well.

 

Anyway, definitely worth a meeting as the £360 (or whatever we paid ??)
is a touch to much me thinks 

 I forget what we are paying these days as we
have that many bills coming through the door !

 

That’s the latest

 

Boing !

 

I’m Mickelmus Wrighticus for Sky News

Dear all

We are aware that IRN has hiked its charges for news and are trying to get a
meeting with them to discuss this.  

We are also working with the BBC to try to extend access to their news
services for the community radio sector, so we do urge you to at least
approach your local BBC with a view to exploring the possibility of getting
a free news feed from them, as some stations already have.

Let us know how you get on as we will follow this up at the national
strategic level,

Best wishes

Jaqui
