<p class=MsoPlainText>In terms of the push behind this, below is an extract
from Radio 7 weekly email. I do think the word Amnesty is slightly emotive. Knife
amnesty, gun amnesty and now a radio amnesty. I wasn’t aware we were doing
something wrong!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Richard <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Hello again<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>We are all aware that radio
is a powerful medium which can be used creatively to inspire, inform and
educate young people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>For many children in parts
of the world where books are a luxury and internet connectivity is rare and
expensive, the medium of radio connects young people to one another, broadens
their horizons and opens up a world of ideas, imagination and communication. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>So I was very pleased to
hear of a cooperative initiative between BBC and commercial radio to launch a
" Radio Amnesty"<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The Amnesty is being supported
by major manufacturers and the majority of retailers in the UK, and launches
this week. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The premise is that radio
listeners will be invited to trade in their old portable analogue radios for a
spanking new DAB radio. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Participating retailers will
offer a variety of discounts between 22nd May and 26th June on a selected range
of DAB radios. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>When customers hand in
their old battery-operated portable radios, the radios will be collected from a
central point and those in reasonable working order will be re-conditioned,
re-packaged and distributed to children's charities in South Africa. Radios not
reconditioned will be recycled under the WEEE (the Environment Agency's Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Amongst the projects being
supported by this laudable enterprise is an initiative at the Red Cross War
Memorial Children's Hospital in Cape Town, to establish a Hospital Radio
Station. The Children's Radio Foundation (CRF) is already working with a group
of long-term young patients, encouraging and training them to produce their own
radio stories which will be broadcast on the CRF weekly show in South Africa,
The Radio Workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>The reconditioned radios
will be made available to children in hospital wards, enabling them to tune
into the magical world of radio. Radios will also be distributed to children in
areas of extreme poverty, such as northern KwaZulu-Natal, where the Radio
Workshop helps to train young reporters to produce radio programmes in their
home language of isiZulu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>In addition to benefitting
from trading in an "old for new" radio, you will be helping a
deserving and worthwhile cause. Please note that only battery operated radios
can be reconditioned (due to health and safety guidelines mains operated radios
cannot be included)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>You can get more
information on the Radio Amnesty by visiting <a
href="http://www.getdigitalradio.com">www.getdigitalradio.com</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>Do listen out for the
trails, voiced by Stephen Fry, and which will be broadcast on Radio 2, 4 and 7
starting this weekend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:9.0pt'>But now on to the
programmes you can look forward to on Radio 7 in the coming week:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
