[cma-l] imaging and the announcement

[Canalside's The Thread]

Together we are stronger .. it's taken over ten years though and a lot of
banging heads against bricks walls to get there. We may after February HAVE
TO BE stronger together or simply toddle off back to into our warrens, keep
quiet or if we do speak, it's ''yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir''

 

It's decision time everybody. Stand up and be counted or button it !

Absolutely Alex!  Once you are established, great. However it's difficult at
start-up level though because you need to prove to funders (whether
commercial or 3rd sector) that you are viable before they will stump up the
cash.  

 

What else would you expect a paid Station Manager to do?  For me, getting
out and networking is a must.  

 

Incidentally, I'd love to know how colleagues handle news coverage. Do you
take a national service? Follow it up with local news snd weather?  Or is
everything done in house? 

 

Loving these conversations! Together we are stronger!

But if you put your number 4 as number 1 instead, all the rest should then
be taken care of! :-)

After having built over 40 stations but not actually ever had the pleasure
of running one for more than 28 days, I'd prioritise in a different order: 

1.	Professional imaging - so you sound to your audience  like a proper
radio. 
2.	A superb website featuring a listen again service and links with
social media
3.	Make your ads in house by all means, but make very sure they sound
professional.
4.	A full time paid Station Manager who runs the business
professionally and effectively.
5.	Think carefully about News - go for local - don't bother with
national.

Whisky Mac for me please!
