[cma-l] Diverse FM Luton

[Ian Hickling]

Nicely put - as ever - Nick!
As regards this line:
Perhaps correspondence like this needs to be plonked on the Desk of the head Honcho in the DCMS who still after 14 years ‘’simply don’t get it’’ !?
-  have a meeting with him on Friday and I'll make very sure that's on the Agenda.

Hear Hear !     we’ll
said Michael. Of course we have known this for 14 years and the Key is that for
us to do this we need to ‘be around’   we need to exist,
we need to keep plodding and beavering away.

 

Making the task a bit easier so that we
can concentrate on what we are meant to be doing as opposed to debating, having
consultations, arguments, minding our P & Q’s just in case we might
upset a Commercial Station   (oh by the way, a Commercial outfit that
are quite happy to cherry-pick people for their gain) …… the
observations are endless and we know all the tired arguments.

 

Perhaps correspondence like this needs to
be plonked on the Desk of the head Honcho in the DCMS who still after 14 years ‘’simply
don’t get it’’ !?

 

Lots of hot-air of course and empty
promises and more consultations and bits of tinkering around the edges creating
not a lot of forward movement but quite a lot of frustration, irritation and
dare I say – resentment.

 

We will each and all end up having to do
this Radio Bill in the manner in which we suggested years and years ago …
is it not time now to throw the shackles off and let people get on with it –sooner
rather than later may I add.

 

Well done to Diverse by the way.

Over the last 14 years we [Canalside]
have had 9 people who have gone onto Commercial Radio / BBC Radio / Commercial
TV / BBC TV / BBC Beebies ……. And we’ve managed this even
though we’ve spent 50% of the time banging our head against the DCMS
Wall      J

 

Viva La Community Radio and let’s
hope more of us Burst with Pride … I’m sure we would if we weren’t
‘restricted’

 

Nick
