[comradio-l] TOGETHERNESS !!? 209radio = Islands In The Stream

[stevensuttie at aol.com]

Dear Karl,
 
I am delighted that your immediate funding problems have been answered  in 
such a spectacular fashion... and I do hope that the national, regional and  
local media will make a big deal of this. I also hope that your long term  
funding questions are answered.
 
However, I'm a little concerned that your immediate funding crisis was not  
made clearer amongst the CMA members / CMA List prior to this time. I would 
hate  to get an e-mail telling me that the highly regarded 209radio had  
closed down. Everybody in the CMA / Community Radio sector would.
 
But reading between the lines of this last  minute, temporary success, it 
appears that we were all faced with a  disturbing fact. 
 
CR001 (Forest Of Dean Radio) is due to stop broadcasting on New Years Eve  
due to funding problems. 
 
They were not licensed as number 1 for nothing!!
 
This dreadful fact asks a couple of pertinent questions...
 
Is this sector in crisis?  
 
Or are we all doomed?
 
Where is the TOGETHERNESS of our sector?
 
Kindest  Regards
Steve Suttie
