<div dir="ltr">Hi Mohammed,<div>We at Huntingdon Community Radio subscribe to I.R.N. for national news. Local news we obtain mostly from our local newspaper who when they have a story come in it is emailed to us.(We are lucky as the office is nearly next door to the studios.) Local traffic we subscribe to Tom Tom and receive there live maps.</div><div><br></div><div>Ray Godby</div><div>Operations Director</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 18 November 2014 13:29, Mohammed Tariq <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:m.tariq@inspirefm.org" target="_blank">m.tariq@inspirefm.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-GB" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div><p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hope you are well.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>Quick question on how (if you do), do you guys get local, national news and traffic updates for your listeners?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>As you can all appreciate news is essential for any broadcast service and hence how do you keep up with the demand of regular up to date news?<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Currently we record the news first thing in the morning and then repeat once during the afternoon and then once in the evening.
