Andy Onchan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 36 minutes ago, Stu Peters said: 'He should be sacked for that'. Seriously?? How dare you suggest that someone with 20+ years service should be summarily dismissed for featuring a worthwhile news story that he has a minor stake in. These videos are great Xmas gifts, made by a local company with local talent, and are a great showcase for the IOM. So it was a newsworthy piece. Typical of the Facebook/SJW mob mentality these days that people should be fired if you don't agree with someting about them. So why not advertise it on MR? After all MR needs the revenue, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Peters Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Maybe they will - that's their decision and not MR's. But it's still a newsworthy item, and my advice to people with a limited budget is to try simple PR (as in this case) and/or Facebook advertising before anything else.

parchedpeas Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 On a tiny island, it's hard not to know someone who is involved in pretty much everything that happens: what should Manx Radio do? Only promote stuff that is made off-island so as to avoid every conflict of interest? Should Duke have to use voice-overs from off island, so they can be mentioned on-air? Daft, and self defeating.

Perhaps Duke could have paid for some advertising to help ease the financial burdens that Manx Radio are under. I hear their rates are very competitive... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff link The correct link i never claimed where the monitoring was done, or who by. You made the claim - you prove it. You claim it’s the BBC, you prove it.

To be fair Stu, I'd be absolutely gutted if I got that for Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De nada Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I always had the impression John is reasonably intelligent, but wasting time trying to argue with the idiot W2 has changed my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
