Dear all<br><br>Just passing on the request from the BBC is all. No problem if you do not want to take part, though I tend on the whole to agree with Claire and Shirley that it would be good profile for the sector and your own station locally...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Dear all <br><br>Please see below a request from 5 Live to ask you if you would be interetsed in running a phone in for their new Sunday morning show starting 9 May. If you are interested in running one on any of the topics below please get back to us as soon as possible, or email Jo Meek and copy us in<br>
<br>Thanks<br><br>Jaqui</p><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hi Jacqui,</span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thanks for taking the time to speak to me just now.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Just to follow up on our chat - as you know the 9 week show we are producing is called ‘We’re All In This Together’. The tone of the show is serious journalism - each week looking at a different theme such as healthcare reform and jobs and the economy - but with a lighter, humourous twist of reality, through pre-recorded material that’s about issues and themes directly relevant to the current state of our nation, and live guests to debate these issues.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Our 9 ‘We’re All in This Together’ topics are:</span></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span> Democratic Voice - do we have one in this country? Is it through protest?</span></p>

<br> Money and Banking</span></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span>The Overview:</span></b></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>In the interests of cuts and austerity measures, 5 live’s We’re All In This Together is now outsourcing the show’s phone-in. It means we don’t have to outlay for phone lines, operators or headsets and is all round a good efficiency saving for the licence fee payers. (Quick reality check: we do have those things already, we just believe this is a fun and revelatory way of having a pre-recorded phone-in, a ‘vox populi’ with a difference and with very different voices / opinions. Each week, a community station runs a phone-in on the topic. We then distill the on-air calls in a chart style rundown of ‘most insightful caller’, ‘biggest rant’ and ‘most off topic comment’. It’s actually a way of hearing the opinions that otherwise wouldn’t be aired on national radio and a way of reflecting the diversity of voices via radio stations across the UK.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span><br><b><span style="color: black;">In terms of how we'd like to</span> run the phone as a pre-rec tape and script into like thi</b>s:<br><br>
<span style="color: black;">We knew that the public felt strongly about this. We knew it would make a great phone in for you this morning. We also knew that in our busy schedule, we wouldn’t have time to get you all on air with your views on lying politicians. That could have taken most of the day. So in the spirit of the times, we contracted our phone-in out on a cost-effective basis. It was done by X RADIO STATION in X TOWN.</span><br>
<br><span style="color: black;">Here’s how they set it up.</span><br><br><span style="color: black;">TAPE OF HOST SETTING UP THE QUESTION: </span><br><br><span style="color: black;">Here’s the best caller</span><br><br>
<span style="color: black;">TAPE</span><br>
<br><span style="color: black;">Here’s the angriest caller</span><br><br><span style="color: black;">TAPE</span><br><br><span style="color: black;">And here’s the most irrelevant caller</span></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">
</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue","serif";">Hope this makes sense - please let me know your thoughts and if we can work with several community stations on these that would be great.</span></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span>I know time is a little against us - but we'd need to hear back from the stations who are interested </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">
