Looks like someone is getting the gist of it
.well done Ian
.I’m not
looking for aggro as I would imagine no one else is .. but alas, if aggro
comes and knocks at your front door you have only 3 options open
1) Roll over & get kicked to pieces
2) Just take it on the chin
3) Put up a fight
There ought to be a number 4 of course which is sensible negotiation
. I
don’t think that is in their dictionary from my experiences as I am in the
same position with them that I was 8 years ago
..so re my previous memo
we have actually given up
. We have told them what we will and won’t be
doing and then take it from there.
I would argue we have been running with numbers 1 and 2 for the last 14
years
I suggest we rally round and get some bottle and plonk number 3
first.
I have to be honest with everyone, I am fed up with banging my bonce against
a brick wall, it’s now starting to hurt. I don’t want anymore dealings with
them as I have almost lost the will to live
. Just keep sending the
cheques/nothing to report/mind your own business.
Anyway
come on let’s have something nicey to chin wag about :-)
A local Company yesterday are going to support us to the tune of £650 quid
.that’s got me smiling a bit and I may have about another £500 quid to pick
up today fingers crossed .the downside is our MPU is still down in Studio 3
and could cost about £4000 to fix or replace ????? do you sometimes
get the feeling you’ve made one step forward and four back ? in this
case if my maths serves me right, the answer is = yup
Keep smiling though :-)
Back to work now, brew time over
Nick

Here’s three other ideas;
* Rather than sell the mux capacity to competing stations sell it to
non-competing.
* Find companies that want a branded station. (The Bay also ran
Chicken FM which was funded by a local takeaway entrepreneur – great source
of income.)
* Segment your existing audience and create separate branded stations
for each. Simulcast Breakfast and Drive, automate the rest. Selling
advertising across the whole at a premium.
This isn’t rocket science!
PS. PRS and PPL are no doubt looking forward to a big pay day with the
potential of hundreds of DAB stations over the coming years. Time to start
negotiation better terms?
Kind Regards

What a great idea... stick a whole new extra tranche of stations on in
your own area to compete with. A financially unsupportable notion.
Sorry, it cannot work. There is only a finite amount of money available
for advertising in any given area and almost nothing in the way of
grants or donations.

Hi,
6 channels? You could run more if you wanted. But you don't have to.
Nor do *you* have to run them. Indeed, you could sell them. Got a sizeable
Chinese community? Sell a slot to China Radio International. Or RFI. Or any
number of broadcasters who want to be in your area. Earn money from this,
don't let it cost you.
Or rebroadcast channels your audience might find interesting (under
agreement). Just like BBC World Service is rebroadcast by some US public
stations on their DAB-equivalent.
Use a channel as a part-time "extra" audio feed for rebroadcasting of
council meetings or other things. Leave it dormant the rest of the time.
Or, slag the whole thing off before you even start thinking of the
possibilities. That, too, appears to be a choice.

One thing that occurred to me, and I?m not aware of any comments so far,
but may have missed them:
There 6 ?channels? on these small scale MUXes. Will that mean if the
tests are successful and we are able to go ahead and have a local community
MUX, some areas will be able to have 6 community radio stations in each
area?
I don?t know about anyone else, but the practicality of 6 stations in our
area is going to be?.. well I was going to say ?a challenge? but we have
that anyway with just us, so with 6 stations I can see some ?small? issue
of viability.
