focused on one style of music or one style of banter or a topic of promotion ….. it is very rare they make programming for the Community as a whole ?? however, as I have said before, I could have missed something or been tuned into the wrong ones.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">When we first started there was a place in Tytherington near the old Rugby club grounds where for an area of about 1000 yards square you could clearly pick up a Pirate
Station. This is about 8 years ago and the Station was actually quite proud at being a Pirate (they boasted on-air) the music was basically all hip hop and rap and nothing else ….. there was bad language as well in a lot of the material. I listened for
about half an hour and then they disappeared …. I was as high as a kite by the time I’d finished LOL this was on a Sunday morning. As a matter of interest I went back the following Sunday but they weren’t there.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">As it happens I was refereeing an under 18’s football match about three weeks later on a Saturday morning. The rugby pitch is now a footie pitch hence why I was there
… and hey presto … they were there again another blast of hip hop and rap. They never mentioned frequency though. Even though I assumed they were on 102.8 or 102.75 ??? I returned again on the Sunday morning and they were there again !
I tried Mon – Fri they were not there ….. and I did try again after that. I have never heard them since apart from as I say a few pecks here and there on a weekend. I don’t know, I am only guessing, but it could be them ????<o:p></o:p></span></p>

has made a significant contribution to broadcasting in this country & it’s sad that politicians don’t recognise it. Pirate Radio , not the BBC, has been the backbone of innovation and others have followed. Luckily we now have the internet where freedom of
expression & creative thought is at the forefront. The BBC has a fantastic opportunity to embrace the spirit of pirate radio through the numerous community stations that are still broadcasting but I fear that they will not grasp the nettle. Meanwhile, out
here in the Cotswolds, our community internet radio station is coming up to its eighth anniversary, all done without the help of Ofcom or the BBC, we do it efficiently & cost effectively.</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
