Wythenshawe FM took live news on the hour from what was BBC GMR. Worked
well and we got a good local-ish news service for nowt, just had to cue up w
'and now the news from BBC GMR...', possibly a back anno too.<br>
<br>
It was a good will arrangement between the then manager and us. All going
swimmingly until a bright spark [possibly a national high up] asked if we took
adverts - which we did - and the service was shelved 'pending further
discussions' which are still pending. The solution we suggested was to
have an advert 'purdah' for say 10 or 15 minutes either side of the bulletin to
dilute the argument that we might be commercially benefiting from the BBC news
content. So yes - it would be a welcome boon if this were to be
resurrected..<br>
<br>
good luck,<br>

<br>
We are aware that IRN has hiked its charges for news and are trying to get a
meeting with them to discuss this. <br>
<br>
We are also working with the BBC to try to extend access to their news services
for the community radio sector, so we do urge you to at least approach your
local BBC with a view to exploring the possibility of getting a free news feed
from them, as some stations already have.<br>
<br>
Let us know how you get on as we will follow this up at the national strategic
level,<br>
