[comradio-l] Community radio station will stay on air

[Karl Hartland]

Back at my desk.

What a feeling.

Lots of work to do now, new blood, new directions.

The lesson is- fight, fight, fight.

If you win, be grateful & take the opportunity.

But if you lose, rest assured that you've been doing the work of (the) 
God(s) (delete as applicable).

I'm more proud that I work in Community Media today than when we won the 
licence.

Excuse me I have some work to do.
