[cma-l] Licensing and VAT

[Artisan Broadcast (Sales)]

Exactly what I was thinking. :-)

The issues from our old station's point of view were not licencing costs -
it was apathy and an older generation that wouldn't budge from the local
BBC local radio station that they've listened to for 50 years. ;-)

I'm going to have another go but return to the original ethos and launch as
a digital only station for the younger generation who prefer to stream and
download rather than tune in on a dial. :-)

Regards,
