font-family:Arial'>And the Circus continues ………………..
allow me to throw another one into the mix and possibly one I haven’t
mentioned before. Obviously if I do go over my old ground I will break the
World record for the longest e-mail ever --------- supposing a Community
Station down the Road decides to pull a fast one or two and ride close to the
edge or even over the edge regarding (not fulfilling key commitments)(I don’t
see how ?? but for this argument let say they do) (correct me if I am wrong
this appears to be one of the gripes) and WE the Community
Radio sector basically do a carbon copy of what Commercial Radio do, which
white wash, bland, boring, brain dead, money orientated thrust towards a common
denominator, but of course we are doing it with rookies, novices, trainees etc
etc and we are STILL a threat !????? is it not they who have the problem
and not us ??<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Plus, Richard and Alan are spot on, and regards to the
advertising and commercial viability etc etc etc (same old yawning drool)
it is the Internet that has put a dent in the profits …we are no threat
at all, never have been and never will be ---------- and if we are, then
Commercial Radio is dead Dodo anyway.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I go back to one of my original and first statements when
the Circus started ……… you load and saddle us up with as many
restrictions as you wish … in fact you can pile them so high that we look
like an overloaded Pack Mule ----- it doesn’t alter the fact that if
every single adult turned off the commercial Station and tunes to the Community
Station they are bon voyage anyway ---- it’s just a nonsense and one of
the biggest Red Herrings I have ever seen.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What Community Radio has actually done is to up the game of
these folk so that the Communities around the Country now have reasonable
Commercial Stations and good Community sources, which is the best of both
Worlds. Go back to the Days of the late 90’s and early 0’s just
before Community Radio came along --- commercial Radio had gone lazy, they took
things for granted …………surely this couldn’t be a
good thing ? they were taking money under false pretences …. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

the ‘’’consultation’’’ why don’t
they just skip that coz we’ve heard it all before for the last 14 years,
just go straight to the nitty gritty and ask the question ‘’well
if this is the case, what do you suggest the Government and Ofcom do about it ?’’’
why does everyone keep walking on eggshells, pussy-footying around ?? just
get straight to point man and say it as it is.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>To
be fair I should take back my initial comments about this not looking like a
survey. Alan’s comments that they don’t ask about the staff they
have employed who gained experience from community radio is valid. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>To
save you the time going through their questions, below is a quick summary of
the survey:-<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Do
you strongly agree, agree, neither agree or disagree, disagree etc to the
following:-<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Question
: Community radio stations are distinct from commercial radio <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Question
: Community radio stations are successful in delivering social objectives
(or social gain), including training and outreach work with
local communities<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Then
a set of questions about the impact community radio has had and might have in
future on their 1) Ad revenue and 2) audience.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:2.25pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>It then asks if they have contacted Ofcom with
concerns or complaints about community radio and if yes, please provide details
and whether you were satisfied with Ofcom’s response and whether you
think it had any effect.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:2.25pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:2.25pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Question :- Do you believe Ofcom regulates community
radio effectively?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:2.25pt'><font size=3 face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>Question:- Please tell us if your station(s) or group
has been impacted in any other way by the activity of local community radio
stations - providing brief examples where applicable. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>“The
list below, which is not exhaustive, highlights some of the principal
issues. <br>
<br>
- Commercial activity<br>
- Nature of editorial content/ speech<br>
- Distinctiveness of
music (ideally supported by data)<br>
- Compliance with key commitments<br>
- New licence
applications<br>
- Transmission/ technical
issues”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>So
the survey assumes commercial stations are knowledgeable in whether we are
successful in delivering social objectives (or social
gain), including training and outreach work with local
communities. It also assumes they are experts in how Ofcom regulates our
sector. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>It
would have been interesting to see them ask where, given all the threats they
face (BREXIT, BBC, online advertising, economy etc.) where community radio
stands in the hierarchy of threats to their audience and ad revenue.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=msonospacing><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>But
they are communicating with their members and hopefully the answers will
challenge the apparent bias and ignorance in some of their questions. And
hopefully they will share some of their finding with us and no just issue a
press release and start lobbying Ofcom.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

sound like a survey but more a (fishing) expedition for (probably
non-scientific) evidence of non-performance in our sector. And surely
they prejudice any replies by saying they have raised concerns about our
sector. I’d be more impressed if they simply asked their members in
a neutral manner for their experiences of community radio stations. </span></font><font

Maybe we should ask to be allowed to contact their members to conduct a
proper survey! At the very least we should ask them to share the feedback they
receive (all names retracted of course!). </span></font><font color=black><span
