<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As you should all know, we have an agreement in
place with the BBC English regions Radio stations which sets out good practice
and ideas for collaborative working between CMA members and local BBC (English
Regions only at present).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This has now been in place for six months and is
due to be reviewed by us both. Therefore would you be good enough to supply me
with good and not so good practice?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Has the MOU helped you get that 'foot in the door'?
Or has the door been firmly 'shut'?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There are mutual benefits to be had with this
collaboration as identified in the current MOU and it would be good to highlight
other ways we can work together and share ideas nationally. Don't forget - we
have a great deal to offer BBC radio stations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'll kick it off with a good example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As reported in Radio Today 19/04/10:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT color=#0000ff>BBC Radio Bristol and BBC Somerset joined forces
with Bristol community station BCfm 93.2 yesterday to broadcast a special
programme to mark the funerals of the Polish President Lech Kaczynski and his
wife Maria.<BR><BR>The special programme was presented by BBC Radio Bristol's
Trevor Fry and BCfm's Magda Bond. Trevor said: "The Polish community here in the
West of England is more than 20,000 strong. Understandably the sense of grief is
huge. We're pleased to be in a position to provide a programme brought that
community together on such a sad and poignant day."<BR><BR>The programme on
Sunday, had reports from BCfm's presenter, Basha Everett in Krakow, where the
president's funeral was held earlier in the day, from London where the service
was being relayed on huge screens and from Polish communities across the West
Country.</FONT></EM><BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think this is a great
example of joint working and is something we are looking at doing in the
future.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Let me have em please! Good and BAD.</FONT></DIV>
