through today from Radio Response ……… we’re giving it a go here at
Canalside I
have to say though we are our own worst enemy. People are bending over
backwards to help us, why are we not ALL running these to give ourselves a
fighting chance
? the
sooner we start operating as a ‘collective’ fraternity the better it will be
for everyone. Surely even the ‘I’m alright Jacks’ could do the decent thing
and try help the ones who are having a bit of a tough time
??? maybe I’m going soft in my old

most of you will know by now, unfortunately, OFCOM did not grant the funds for
our Somer Valley FM led bid to provide audience research to a consortium of 20
stations. The funding pot this time round totalled £200,000 and whilst our bid
was well received the committee did not feel it could justify the
allocation of 20% of the fund to one bid. We are looking for alternative
funding opportunities and will keep you posted on
developments.<br class="gmail_msg">____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<u class="gmail_msg"></u><u class="gmail_msg"></u></span></p>

you launch something like this you are then in the Commercial Zone. The proof
of the Pudding is in the eating isn’t it ?
WE (as a collective
body) either get ready for a fall and Radio
Response change their name to Radio No Response or we hit the jackpot and the
results come flooding in. The three trial Advertisers then write
‘’’testimonials’’’ for the Sales people to pitch at the next target. I
personally think a fair to middling response would be good enough for us.
Correct me if I am wrong but fair to middling from 250 Stations is rather good
National Advertising isn’t it ?<u class="gmail_msg"></u><u class="gmail_msg"></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal gmail_msg"><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Century Gothic',sans-serif;COLOR:black" class="gmail_msg">However, as I
have pointed out many times before, we have to be careful that we don’t go
drifting off into NoddyLand …… there is no guarantee that if we were on Rajar
that the figures would make good reading ----- if this was the case then
surely on a National Scheme we’d be going backwards wouldn’t we? So best stick
with Herbert Muggins the Candlestick Maker in the Village. Then again
(REMAINING POSITIVE) the figures could
prove very promising and exciting …………. I am already stripped down to my
undies in anticipation, and ready to take the big splash plunge into the
