[cma-l] quiery ?

Trevor et al

I have been making some reasonable suggestions over the years (well at least
I think so  LOL)   but sadly it all got lost in dispatches with my wafflings
on [ Restrictions ] and other matters. I think I am out of the Clouds now
and back down on Terra Firma 
 plus, as we get older we mellow 
 I’m only 4
years away from my free Bus pass now, so time to chill I think.

This type of thing has been on my agenda for Donkeys years 
 it’s actually
an opportunity for the CMA to grab a couple (or three) National sponsors for
the Programme. The CMA could take all the money, they could then give a
little tickle £££ or two to the folk who are going to do the Programme, keep
some for themselves and then our membership fees could be reduced by £30 /
£40 quid maybe ?   and we could all go to the seaside for a daytrip and buy
an ice cream and a candy floss.

I know I say it myself, but it makes good sense and it moves all of us up a
little notch.

I have no intentions of changing how we operate 
. Be proud of your
‘localness’ and be proud that sometimes we have shows on that could be
deemed as a little ‘warts n all’ 

. But with something like this plonked in
the middle of the day we step up as a Team.

With reference to the other stuff, no disrespect to anyone but as usual we
started putting Carts before Horses 

.all this arty farty stuff is all
well and good, but there is a place for it 
and it ain’t middle of the day

..a current affairs programme with News and topical items of interest
(including the arts) but maybe only once every 2 or 3 weeks 

..anyway
you catch my drift I think.

I personally think we are at the stage (and have been for a while) of
‘’let’s just get on with it’’         I’m more than happy to be the guy on
the end of the applications and show reels as ‘’I knows it, coz I grows it’’
:-)

I like that idea - we just need to agree a format (how much time for
adverts?). Programme length could offer several options. Quarter, half even
full hours - for overnights perhaps - downloadable, listen again.

There was a plan for an arts database - I added a short story, heard nothing
more. Lost that. Same with your Roving Report - we need to share.

Nick,

I regularly Broadcast National Topic Roving Report for Community Radio then
I offer them to other stations in the format you suggest.

I have put this info/offer out before on this board so you must have missed
it.

They are ready to roll without station ID’s and you can get them /or preview
them from here

www.terrymechan.com <http://www.terrymechan.com/> 

There is enough on-line for a 14 week series of  Roving Reports on recent
subjects of National Interest

Dear All

Are there any of our Stations (there must be surely)  that do programmes

that are generic ?

Ie:- the topic might be elderly people related, or political (national)

current affairs (national)     and the programmes wouldn't sound out of

place on any of our Stations ?

I have always maintained we are missing a trick here. Almost like a couple

of Networked Shows but for US as Community Radio. They could be recorded in

chunks of half an hour so local adverts and breaks can be chucked in.

I reckon it makes sense and it is a great opportunity for someone who would

like to be a touch more National than just Local.

We all know that we get inundated with National MUSIC shows and without

being rude they are T-A-P .... they're good and professional, so it isn't a

criticism ....  I just think more of an hour / 2 hour current affairs with

COMMUNITY INCLUDED would be a belter.

Is anyone up for that ?  there must be some chomping at the bit ..... Pippa

maybe ?

Regards

Nick W
