1. Whilst each presenter needs to develop his or her own style, it
cannot be to the detriment of the station. I was told years ago in
no uncertain terms that no presenter is bigger than the station.<br>
It doesn't matter if a presenter doesn't get paid - if they
volunteer to do a job, then it should be as binding an agreement
as if money changes hands, otherwise you lose control.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. Its great to think stations are prepared to help each other
with equipment, ideas etc., but that must stay in the background.
Individual stations MUST stay individual. Common station imaging
would throw us all into the pit that commercial radio has become -
and I like to think we're better than that.<br>
<br>
Nice one Terry.<br>

Hi
I have spent some time reading through some of the threads here and my
temperature is rising slowly as my anger threshold gets closer. Two points!
*1.Presenters With Their Own Agenda?*
What are they doing on your station in the first place and more
importantly, why do you allow them to broadcast in the first place?
It doesn?t matter if they are volunteers! Just because you don?t pay them
does not give them the right to use your station to broadcast the little
radio station in their heads.
Solution! Get them to sign a voluntary agreement that says they follow the
station format/guidelines designed by you - The Station Manager (you have
got a written station/programmes format? don?t you?).
If they don?t sign this agreement, they don?t get within fifty yards of a
mic. If they do sign and break the rules then? you can wave goodbye and
replace them with someone who will follow station direction?simple!
Presenters on air with their own agenda = weak programme management.
*2. Common Station Imaging Across Community Radio*
NO NO NO. We are NOT a network and when we start to think we are? we move
towards our own downfall!
Think individuality, creativity and innovation.
