Alternatively make friends with your nearest neighbouring stations and pass listeners to eachother.  It worked a treat for Wycombe Sound during the recent RSL when we passed listeners to Marlow FM and Radio Christmas in Amersham.   No need for imaging, just make it part of your regular set of links.

“If you are in the car and you lose our signal in Wherever, don’t forget you can tune in to Local CR Station on 87.7FM.  Keep it Local”

PI codes (I assume we’re talking RDS) are great for you lucky boys and girls with permanent licences.

It's simple enough. 
One of my colleagues has made a study of the effects of PI character groups and we can advise accordingly.
Ofcom will change a PI code to co-operate with or avoid other Licencees on written request.
We have a Client group in Yorkshire for instance where we are contemplating this.

Ian, 

its interesting about the PI code, I remember having this discussion about 2 / 3 years ago about the idea of changing CR PI codes so that you had this flow between stations.. It was muted that it might be an idea but more faff than its worth, and also that there is not enough overlap or coverage to make it effective.. As CR stations grow it might be an idea for the future.

  We could get to something akin to this. 
  A modern RDS-equipped receiver interprets parts of your PI code to associate you with other similar stations.
  This will allow a receiver tuned to your station to switch automatically to another CR station when its signal achieves a higher level than yours for a preset amount of time on a journey.
  This may or may not be something you would like to consider - depending on how well you get on with your neighbours!

  Dear All
   
  I know it would never happen …. Well, I don’t think it would, but wouldn’t it be absolutely fantastic if we ALL had the same imaging. Obviously the wording in the sweepers / jingles / stabs etc would be different but the sound / music / style the same. You could drive anywhere in the Country and tune into the local Community Radio Station …. The most you here the ident you automatically know it is Community Radio.
   
  At the end of the day, we are a fraternity, we are a family …………. I’d be up for it
   
  Am I now off with the fairies heading for Noddyland or perhaps completely gone doolally ? …….. I am currently in a rocking chair sat on the front patio with a sock on my head, two knitting needles in my ears and a piece of straw hanging out of my mouth    J

  Hi


   
  Can anyone suggest a good imaging production company they have used in the past. I am aware of the 'usual suspects' so trying to find someone who is innovative and different?
