[cma-l] DEC East Africa Crisis Appeal

Thu Mar 30 13:50:03 BST 2017

Good afternoon

I've been in contact with DEC and with Radiocentre who made the radio
appeals. They advise that the radio appeal will be winding down shortly and
stations might like to cease playing the appeals by this weekend.

We are arranging a meeting with DEC and Radiocentre next month to ensure
that the CMA is contacted with regard to any subsequent campaigns and that
we receive the audio for broadcast in a more timely fashion.

Thank you to all stations who played the DEC appeal which no doubt made a
positive contribution to the campaign.

Best regards

Bill
