tell you about a new service that we are intending to <BR>launch for Community
Radio stations in the UK. We have already <BR>implemented this on a small scale
for a particular station, but talking <BR>to other Community Radio stations we
feel it may be of wider interest so <BR>we are keen to understand the level of
interest.<BR><BR>The concept is simple - a fully managed overnight sustaining
service <BR>playing your music format with your station imaging but with our
<BR>voice-tracked presenter. All presenter links would be heavily localised
<BR>and focused upon the TSA, events, news, info etc. This isn't a typical
<BR>network sustaining service - it is *your* overnight service.<BR><BR>How it
works:<BR>We provide you with a playout PC that we manage. It requires is a
<BR>broadband connection for us to manage it with, and has balanced audio
<BR>outputs. The service starts when you want it to, playing your music
<BR>format to your clocks with promos/commercials/features as required. The
<BR>presenter links are played in with references to the music, other
<BR>presenters/shows and as much local information as possible. The service
<BR>will then continue until your presenter led programming takes over in
<BR>the morning. Options exist to take an external news service, and of
<BR>course local weather inserts.<BR><BR>At this point we are seeking an
expression of interest from Community <BR>Radio stations by email with (of
course) no commitment. This will allow <BR>us to gauge demand<BR>more accurately
and scale our roll-out accordingly.<BR><BR>If this is of interest then I would
be grateful if you could get in <BR>touch by email, otherwise thank you for your
time. Our website and other <BR>points of contact will be coming very
soon.<BR><BR>Kind regards,<BR>Jon
Richardson</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
