[cma-l] Any BBC issues fo rthe CMA regular meeting with them?

[Tom Buckham]

Hi Jaqui

We had quite a productive meeting with BBC Norfolk here last week. Although there's not been time to confirm some of the plans we discussed, the main topics we examined were:

* Local news and the potential to share content/take BBC news feeds.

* Training provision - our discussions centered around training our Producers/news team on the best ways to generate content and cover local news (plenty of other options of course - presenter training etc)

* Work experience/placements - we discussed a more formal approach to this area whereby every 3 months (or some other regular time scale) we could nominate Future Radio volunteers for week placements, or 'work experience'.

* BBC Introducing - we have some of the BBC introducing presenters on Future Radio. One of the presenters started here, before starting to work on Introducing as well, and then another presenter already on Introducing got a show here (so a nice symmetry!). If we record live music sessions we sometimes send the tracks over the BBC Norfolk (and vice versa) and our own DJs have featured on their shows from time to time if they're doing any musical events in the region. 

I think those where the main areas, I'll try and update the list with any further developments. We're quite fortunate to enjoy a good rapport with our local beeb, so the discussions were mostly geared around trying to formalise things a bit more, rather than doing things on an ad hoc basis.

All the best

Dear all

The CMA will be meeting with the BBC early February to discuss how the
operation of the Memorandum of Understanding is being implemented on
the ground, both for community radio and other community media
organsiations.  Please do let us know examples of both the good
practice/relationships you have with your local BBC and also any
examples of issues/difficulties you may be experiencing.

You can find the latest updated MoU at:

http://www.commedia.org.uk/2009/12/11/cma-bbc-mou/

This gives examples of existing
collaborations/assistance/relationships that you can use when
approaching your local BBC editor,

We look forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes

Jaqui
