All the positives will be spun ignoring all the negatives and the cost to the taxpayers. Spot on. Who's the Lord Haw Haw type incessantly droning the case for public broadcasting just now.

GD4ELI Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Listening to Talking Heads' NHS program. Feeble. At the same time BBC Radio Cornwall's program is about the NHS in Cornwall. Excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I would think so too with double the budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an excellent hard-working midday presenter who hosts a three-hour current affairs program with no music. I accept than MR must have adverts but some enthusiasm for the topics and just a little research wouldn't go amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piebaps Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Of course its about the budget. Radio Cornwall gets a £1.42m slice of licence payer money. Presenters are on public sector salaries and public sector pensions. Poor old Stu is on whatever freelance deal he managed to haggle which will be nothing like a PS salary deal.

Derek Flint Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thats the bit they fail to make profit on. It makes you wonder how, when you see Energy and Three able to wash their face without the subvention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Given that MR hived many of its staff off onto freelance (presumably pittance) basis, it does indeed make one wonder where all the money goes to. Mr Pugh... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell Derek, you were a copper and you can't tell the difference between 2 stations that play pop music ( more than likely on a loop or part pre recorded) and the only station that has live broadcasts, covers all the motorbike events, has phone ins, women's progs. , farming features, Manx language progs., etc. etc. infinitum. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
