<DIV><FONT face=Consolas>We lobbied Ben Bradshaw (our local MP and former
Culture Secretary) asking him to make a contribution to the DCMS consultation.
He affirmed by letter that he had done so, and we have now received a letter
which he wrote to OFCOM about the same issue, and the reply that he received.
It's difficult to know what OFCOM's view actually is from the response, but
we're gratified that he has tried to move this forward on our
behalf.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Consolas> Ben is better placed than most MP's to talk
about radio as he was employed by BBC Radio Devon - and he's always been
supportive of us and helped in several ways to move some issues forward on our
behalf.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
