[comradio-l] Well done Alan!

[Richard Hilton]

Good event - thankfully the rain held off for those of us physically in Trafalgar Square last night.  Sadly no one thought to bring a radio and there was no loudspeakers so people didn't really understand what was actually going on.  However, this merely gave us the opportunity to do a bit of one to one selling of community radio to those milling around.  Most seemed impressed, especially that it was being broadcast across Sheffield.  We all cheered loudly when Alan pointed the mic towards us and at least one person from Ofcom came along to check it out!

The 'attractions' change every hour and if you are in the area it's probably worth going along to see what's happening!

Alan, Programme Controller at Sheffield Live! community radio, used his opportunity on the fourth plinth to demonstrate the creativity, initiative and resourcefulness that exists within the community media sector today. Alan also celebrated the city of Sheffield by playing a selection of music by local bands and artists that do not get airplay
elsewhere. The recent open letter to the Prime Minister calling for an increased Community Radio Fund -
http://www.commedia.org.uk/2009/07/21/open_letter_prime_minister/ - was also read out.

The Sheffield Live! broadcast was heard not only by people on Trafalgar Square, but across Sheffield on 93.2FM, across London on Resonance 104.4FM (http://resonancefm.com/) and on the Internet.  Alan's broadcast featured in Resonance FM's "Clear Spot", a slot for unique broadcasts by artists.

Congratulations to Alan on his achievement from all of us here at the CMA and from all your friends in the community media sector - well done!
