[cma-l] FW: Murdoch and the tea party to come

Wed Jan 5 15:35:07 GMT 2011

Nick I can lend you a screw driver - suggest you do what you need to do -  I say that of course in the context of the substantial power loss your cabling between tx and mast quite clearly induces. And then suggest you pick another subject to discuss perhaps Murdoch, Sky etc. only joking - or am I

Lol

Dear All 

Here we a go go  …………….
Everyone pre-occupied yet again with Mr Murdoch, Sky, IRN , BBC ……..
etc etc    yawn yawn …………………….
Can we not focus on what we are doing or what we are NOT permitted to do. 

As per my last e-mail which I don’t
know whether is being vetted or not as some appear to going walkies
??         we (CCR) need only a few
little tweaks and we’ll survive ………….. maybe not
thrive --- but ---- survive
!                      
that’s all we can expect I suppose. I’d be happy with that. So far
as the big boys are concerned I have no interest whatsover ……. I
never hear them, listen to them or pay any attention. I suppose the feeling is
mutual
!?                    
no probs   que sera sera  

Regards 

Nick

  How many radio
  stations carry a top of the hour news service? As far as I know there are
  just two providers of radio news in the
 UK , one is the BBC the other is
  IRN (Sky News Desk). 

  The later being
  debatable as to if it is ‘sponsored’ and not permitted within the
  Ofcom Code in respect of sponsoring news.  

  On TV we have
  Russia Today, al jazeera, Press TV and others. Some would say these services
  cover the news in a certain way but responsible viewers take a view on the
  content of such services and form an opinion. If News International were to
  take control of BskyB,  viewers (and Listeners) can make a choice.  

  Sounds to me
  like it is yet another opportunity for the sector to use to its advantage and
  increase its contribution to the democratic process. 

  My original
  point is that if ownership of BskyB were to change hands then I am sure the
  Government would be looking to do deals with NI both above and below the
  line. To get his way Murdoch will no doubt do a deal for the Sun to support
  the tories at the next election and hand over millions to DCMS project funds.
  Small fry compared to the billions the deal will make for him. 

  How many
  millions does the sector need over the next five years?

  I have to say Phil that if you think that the
  bowdlerisation of british media starts with rupert murdoch then I believe you
  must be wearing rose coloured spectacles. 

  That started years ago when the BBC started to
  swerve violently to the left. 

  This is just a rebalancing of the field 

  Also on the darkest day the light shines brightest 

  Yes I would be happy to take anyones money if it
  came without strings
