Dear Community Radio

My name is Tim, I work for the Student Union of the above University. We
are in the process of  re-launching our radio station "The HUB". I am
conducting research into several Universities and local radio stations,
basically looking for new ideas and how you run and fund you own
stations to enable UWE to improve the overall re-launch of the HUB. At
the moment I see the initial costing as a hurdle I have to get over, due
to budget constraints within the University/Student Union.

I would be grateful if you would reply to the questions I ask in this
email, plus pass on *any *information that you think relevant to
starting/improving a radio station, many thanks, I look forward to your
reply.
