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>
