Chicken FM :-) is someone havin' a Giraffe here ??? I've
nearly fell off my stool laughing :-)
Good suggestion by Alan. Is this though not a bit ''my bat and ball and no
one else is playing with them'' I suppose it stops the competition . is
this allowed ?
Defo brew over, back to the best music and biggest variety on your dial IT'S

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.
