<p>The 'team' concept is working well at our station because it
consists of people with a wide range of skills from management in
finance and in local government to computer engineering with a
couple of radio amateurs thrown in for good measure. Basically we
are people who know how to do 'things' to aid our presenters do
what they want in order to entertain and inform our area. We are a
committee but respect each other to be specialists in their ideas
when discussing station matters. A station run solely by
'producers' is surely a recipe for disaster and should be
discouraged.</p>

I agree. An individual or a very close-knit team - even
with a team there has to be someone in charge.<br>
<br>
It’s very difficult, and I suspect some stations decay
because the a) one person gets fed up or b) an alternative
leader tries to take over.<br>
<br>
>From my own experience I had competition - a small
group who wanted to turn the station into a money-making
machine. I’d b been at it for six years, and we had 65
volunteers, and it was doing well enough. I didn’t fight
to retain control - but the money-makers had left within a
month, quickly realising they couldn’t make cash. The
station has struggled ever since (IMHO). It’s coming up
to 10 years old, not sure of Ofcom are interested enough
to notice that it is still trying to be commercial, has
very few presenters, whose egos play the music they like,
and who have never understood what community meant.<br>
<br>
I’m concerned now that the BBC seem to have won the right
to control - and are playing the ‘big boss’. That’s a
great pity because potentially the community broadcasters
have so much more to offer than the Beeb will ever
realise.<br>
<br>
That’s another story.<br>
