 Subject: [cma-l] Tulip Radio to continue broadcasting on FM

--- Press release ---Spalding and South Holland?s favourite FM broadcaster to continue, as local registered charity Hereward Media steps in The end looked certain last Tuesday morning, 13 December, when local community radio station Tulip Radio sadly announced its intended closure at high noon that day, in what was thought to be its final ever broadcast. However, tipped off by the news the previous day in the local press, little did the presenters of that show, Director Chris Carter and Business Manager Jan Whitbourn, realise that they had inadvertently lit the fuse on a fast-hatched plan to allow the station to continue. Jan said: ?We were half an hour into what was to be our final show when we received a knock on the door, and a very comprehensive offer document was delivered to us. We rapidly scan-read it, and decided, there and then, not to switch the transmitters off as intended, pending a satisfactory outcome. We were both unhappy about what we were doing, so to receive
  some hope was a huge relief. We had received so many communications from our community, expressing sadness with our closure; we knew we had to wait to consider the offer.? Hereward Media, a local training charity based in Peterborough, serving that conurbation as well as the Fenlands, is delighted that their proposal to continue Tulip Radio has been accepted. The station will be subject to a major relaunch at 7.00am on Monday 2 January 2017. Alex Geairns, Station Director of Hereward Media noted: ?The deal will preserve this vital community asset for the Spalding and South Holland area. Broadcasting is one of the ancillary outputs from our training initiatives, where we increase the employability of those who need a new direction in their careers. Radio, TV and internet skills can be transferred to a whole host of professions, and bringing Tulip into our group gives us a hub in another part of our coverage area?. Tulip will continue to broadcast to Spalding and surrounding  towns, maintaining local studios and a community centre, and involving the whole of its catchment area. Scheduling and technical changes will be rolled out, and a marketing team will work with local businesses to enhance the commercial offerings available via Tulip?s advertising and promotions. Chris Carter, Tulip?s Director said: ?This was far later an intervention than the eleventh hour - this was more like three minutes to Midnight! I was on-air when the letter from Hereward Media was thrust into my hand. I was already amazed with the offers of support which were coming in, but what was being proposed, in this case, offered exactly what was needed. It?s not money that has been the issue with our station, it has been provision of technical know-how and numbers of volunteers. These are both addressed with Hereward Media?s business plan, which leaves me both delighted and relieved?. Hereward Media is in the process of setting up a media training centre in Peterborough, coupl  ed with a Local TV channel, and activity in the future will include the eventual opening of a television studio in Spalding as well.  Alex Geairns said: ?Our original intention was to have radio in our remit, but with a focus on online-only. With Spalding in our catchment area, it will allow us to ensure the community continues to be able to have a voice, and on easily accessible FM airwaves. All I ask now is all those who stepped forward in the last few days to help their local radio station, as we did, now follow through with their offers. We want to hear from everyone, as we need new presenters alongside the established ones, and there are many behind-the-scenes roles to be taken. Community radio is volunteer-driven, and you can never have too many people involved.? Plans are already in place to establish Tulip Events Management as a separate enterprise, based at The Crescent as before, and will continue to organise a whole range of local events, many with outside broadca  sts making them part of Tulip?s on-air activities. Business Manager Jan Whitbourn said: ?I am looking forward to continuing our outreach to the local community, supporting so many good causes. This will be in a way where people can see how they can be part of their local radio station, as well as helping us out with the events we aim to help run in the community.?

Even in the digital age, it?s an experience familiar to many: scrolling through a radio tuner, jumping from crackled voices to clear-cut sound, shipping forecasts to pop tunes, in the hunt for a station you want to listen to.

Now, you can experience this on a global scale, hopping thousands of the world?s radio stations. Launched this week, Radio.Garden is an interactive website that presents Earth covered in tiny dots, each representing a radio station that can be tuned into at the click of a button.

With global tensions high, anger at the political establishment and fake-news dominating social media discussions, it feels like there has never been a better time to enable people to reflect on human communication on an international level. Radio.Garden allows the world to be explored through its sounds, and while some seem foreign, many seem familiar.

At the time of writing, Classic FM Sofia is beaming out a romantic symphony, Mali Jet is blasting out fast-paced hi-life, and over on the west coast of the US Rockabilly Radio is, well, living up to its name.
