So now all the deck chairs have been rearranged they are asking for another hundred thousand quid, you could not make it up, then again..

I understand that includes doing the TT, CTT and MGP (although not explicitly stated in the report) for which DoE paid them c£120k this year, so overall, it's actually less Govt cash.

Featured in the local news bulletin today https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/call-for-female-diversity-in-fashion-advertising/

All very laudable, but local? Does daddy David have some bank accounts here?

 No, it’s local in context - see the reference to ‘plus-sized model’.

Going to miss Paul Corkish and all request Sundays one of the few programmes worth listening to.

So has Corky gone altogether? No Triple Gold anymore, either? What has he done to upset them? It certainly can't be the amount they pay him. I could understand it if there was going to be a complete new sound on the station with lots of new voices, but everyone else is exactly the same crew.

It reminds me of the "cuts" in the rest of government where they have slashed the poor buggers on least money who actually do the work to the bone, but continued with the gravy train at the top.

Nope - the Corkmeister still has a good slot. Schedule

No disrespect intended as such, but there is only so much Chris Kinley I can endure and that is, out of necessity, 2 weeks over TT. 
I listen to most of the 9-10pm programmes and may have to add a few more minutes to that quota at the end of his show..

Oh and Stu, I hope you use a gentle transition from those evening programmes into your show. It took Mr Wint a few years to realise that people weren't just tuning in to listen to the Great Andy Wint Show'*, but were enjoying the end of those evening sojourns away from the usual Manx Radio DJ-ism.'

Andy Wint just did not know that there was no “ Great “Andy Wint to start with. Not a patch on people like Andy Mac.
