[cma-l] Major Incident Planning

[Eddie Stuart]

Until a year ago, KCR only operated as a weekday evening only community opt-out from the local ILR station - Moray Firth Radio - which I believe was a unique MFR set up.

When we got our own licence and became footloose & fancy free (!!) we were aware that there were many areas where being under the wing of MFR had shielded us from aspects of the outside world. A learning curve was required....

In many ways, imposing procedures on an organisation that has been running for 18 years is far harder than on a new start up...... we have had a major "It's always been done this way" problem to overcome.....

One subject which had been discussed but taken no further so far is Major Incident Planning - discussions back then had revolved around the age of HM & the DofE.

We're aware that ILR stations have to have certain procedures in place but following Paris, wondered what the CR stations are planning to do regarding their output in the event of the death of HM, a major terrorist attack in this country (close to home), the assassination of a major figure etc....

Many thanks,

Eddie Stuart
