<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">6 channels? You could run more if you wanted. But you don't have to.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Nor do *you* have to run them. Indeed, you could sell them. Got a sizeable Chinese community? Sell a slot to China Radio International. Or RFI. Or any number of broadcasters who want to be in your area. Earn money from this, don't let it cost you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Or rebroadcast channels your audience might find interesting (under agreement). Just like BBC World Service is rebroadcast by some US public stations on their DAB-equivalent.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Use a channel as a part-time "extra" audio feed for rebroadcasting of council meetings or other things. Leave it dormant the rest of the time.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Or, slag the whole thing off before you even start thinking of the possibilities. That, too, appears to be a choice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">J</p>
