The "News" section has had 3 posts this year, and the "Feature" section - which claims "Every now and then we put the spotlight on a different community radio
subject. These features allow us to look at particular topics in more
depth, with articles, website links and interactive contributions from
members" - has not been updated in four and a half years.<br><br></div><div>I don't find it a particularly user-friendly experience.<br><br></div>Before the last "rebranding", it was quite a useful resource, with an active forum.
