[cma-l] Sky/Fox Radio News

Mon Mar 20 14:24:11 GMT 2017

Nigel,

I have concerns about the way you do your news.. as you have the national
advert before the local news.. surely thats still "in" the news bulletin.

*10.3 No commercial reference, or material that implies a commercial
arrangement, is permitted in or around news bulletins or news desk
presentations.*
