[cma-l] Breakfast Show

I think the fact that they volunteer ought to be enough to be honest
however, there is a HOWEVER :-) if the voluntary malarkey works
50/50 whereby they do what they enjoy doing plus give you a little tickle on
what you need them to do then the garden is hunky dory, it is when this
balance goes out of kilter that ‘’Houston we have a problem’’ I’m
afraid to say that once the novelty wears off in most cases the scales have
a massive tip and getting people to do anything outside of shows becomes
damn near impossible.
What I do here is have a what I call half way House. We have a football card
all the Presenters have a go every-week for a quid
. We do the draw at the
end of the week and the winner gets £15 quid and the Station gets £25 quid
..it pays for Tea & Coffee etc etc
The observation about paying certain Presenters is spot on because if your
output goes pear shaped, then the ability to obtain sponsorship becomes more
difficult and so on and so on
..
So yes, the Presenters do pay, they pay a quid, but stand a chance of
winning £15 quid
BUT ALAS as usual there are some who don’t cough up
and you are constantly having to chase them up which is a pain. Of course it
means they won’t win, but that’s not the point. So instead of the draw being
every week, it ends up every fortnight and the Station technically loses £25
quid x 26 weeks = £650 pounds (I think ?)

Oh - I was surprised about that. Stations have closed because they have
been mismanaged, not necessarily because they didn't ask their presenters
for money. Like I said, we don't do it, and we cover our costs fine.
Just out of interest how much do you charge?

No, what I meant was that without presenter contributions the station would
close. Like a lot of others already have. Their contributions have made up
the operating loss each year and they unanimously voted for that rather than
closure

I think Gary means if you pay your daytime presenters, you're more likely to
get stability in your output, which leads to the station being more
attractive to advertisers.
Works for us, anyway ....

Financial survival depending on whether or not you pay your presenters?

It's got sod all to do with ethos and everything to do with financial
survival

I’d much rather be in the position to pay key presenters (breakfast &
drive), rather than ask them for a contribution! I guess it boils down
to the ethos of your station. Quality presenters will hold on to, and
build an audience which appeals to advertisers. Asian Star have always
worked that model and they have been very successful. They also taught me
how to run a station .... which I am now applying at Wycombe Sound. Thanks

Some stations also successfully raise money to keep the station going by
making a small charge per show for volunteers to present the programmes.

Not putting myself forward for this (sorry) but I did wonder what a
"community radio show rate" is?
We pay our presenters a small fee for the shows between Monday-Friday
7am-6pm, and I know other community stations don't.

Dear All,
We are looking for 4 to 6 weeks cover of our breakfast show 5 days a week
7am to 10am is anyone able to help?
Starting next week.
We do pay a community radio show rate for this, it would suit someone quite
local to Heathrow as we are based in sunny Slough :)
If you are interested then you can contact myself or the station manager on
info at asianstar1016.co.uk
Kind Regards
