the number of people trained, diversity of content, or the voices that would have otherwise been excluded. If we are to use RAJAR terminology, the ‘reach’ is important to some of us. A community station aimed at the whole community should aim to reach everyone
at some point in the year, or at least the 5 year licence. To an extent we are like the local library, not everyone comes, but they know where it is and that somewhere buried in the shelves there will be something for them there. But better than that, if there
isn’t they can put it there with our support. When it comes to clients I think there is a different conversation to be had. For example, is there benefit in being associated with a community station? And does that station reach people who are not being reached
by other local media? In most cases the answers and ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. Which brings us back to Pippa’s point. I think there are multiple types of community stations, and multiple approaches to running them. Some of us come from radio backgrounds, some places
like community arts and volunteering, and others directly into community radio as helpers and presenters. Some stations want to sound like good local radio stations (the way they used to be), for some it’s a place of training, and others run diverse services
where pop music is all but banned. That is our core strength, we are different, we’ll all probably not agree on what’s right, but we should support each other and build one sector.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">You see guys, sorry to appear to be looking for an argument, but all of this ought to be irrelevant under the original launch of Community Radio. It is the fact
that we have less or more listeners or the same that causes the problems. If we are going around saying we have more listeners than whoever ? then the restrictions kinda come into play. I know they shouldn’t and I know that if we have more listeners (or
don’t) it shouldn’t matter. It ought to have no bearing on it. Sadly it has had a bearing and my point weeks ago, was that the message being sent out there now is all gobbledy gook.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Are we competing, are we not competing, if we are not ought we be, if we are should we not be ?? it’s a shambles .I believe Community Radio should be simplistic,
it should be Que sera sera and restrictions should be no where in sight. Whatever will be will be and we all deal with it.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">I don’t care if we have more or less listeners than Silk ..why ? because if Community Radio was running how it is meant to be, we would have enough funding from
the Community Fund Pot, to pay for the essentials and core costs. In otherwords, if we were 100% voluntary, with folk wandering in willy nilly, we could still function in some way shape or form. This is with or without a Station manager and/or someone on sales
etc I think this is how many saw Community Radio. Right or wrong, poor image or good image, it shouldn’t matter as we ought to be able to function even if we are rag tag and bobtail.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Does everyone know where I am coming from here or am I waffling again ? I feel that we have lost our way, but it isn’t exactly our fault. What the restrictions
have done, along with the lack of financial support in the Pot has distorted the whole Venture, hence why I was saying there is confusion. It isn’t confusion in the true sense of the word but I think a few shots in own feet have taken place.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy">Keep it simple has been my message. I don’t expect everyone to agree ….. but ??? Rajar shouldn’t even be on the Radar, if that makes sense. The
moment we start asking to be placed on Rajar, I think we are going away from our values. We’re not here to compete, even though in a roundabout way we are. We have to compete because the financial support has been woeful ….. so is it a wonder why I reach for
the defensive stick ??<u></u><u></u></span></p>
