Guess what, even worse than a gofundme page is a change.org page. Which MHK or MLC is leading this? It smells very much of Skelly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Surely this is just normal government policy now? They seem to have been putting just about everything out to tender to avoid accusations of nepotism. i.e part of the IoM Govt. family getting the contract automatically) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overCome Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 So they should. A hundred grand to run a radio station for three weeks where the transmission infrastructure is already in place? Whoever asked for, and had that figure agreed will be dancing gleefully all the way to the bank. Give it to someone who knows what they're doing (ie, NOT MR) and a profit could be made spending a fraction of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Their contract came to an end, they have been asking for a load of extra money for coverage of races....so it is only right it goes to tender. This is tax payers money that we have worked hard for, dry your eyes MR emotion does not come into it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Sunday morning Radio Gawne back on (sounds like he is a permanent fixture now). MHK Cregie and the other chap with Phil, they just mentioned Summerland. Phil the Match kind of skimmed over the burning bit, and moved on.

The Duck of Atholl Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The market does need to be tested for this.If Manx Radio and their associated begging bowl represent the best value for money in the tender evaluation then so be it. However, I have little respect for the way they are conducting themselves with their wailing and gnashing of teeth. For goodness sake have some self respect!

Max Power Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I don't think it's MR who are whining as such, it's the TT/MGP team just saying that this may be their last event. The contract may or may not change hands, it's just renewal time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
