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. Compare like with like please. Nothing stopping 'poor old Stu' from being interested in his work. Today's TH was embarrassing, only reason I listened was to test a radio. Will tune back in next year. Edited 6 hours ago by GD4ELI Maybe Stu is just bored because of his mundane life, like writing computer code all day, living in a retirement village alone and having a social life that consists of going to the little pub with his dogs and driving a girls car. Then there is you , heavily into fast cars, motorbikes, women and playing in a band with your friends and having an all round good time . Oh F***, I got that back to front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a subvention of £875,000 which together with commercial earnings take the total income to a bit over £2 million (based on 2015-16 accounts). There will be some costs associated with commercial activities, but the the useful income is probably higher than £1.42 million that Radio Cornwall gets according to GD4ELI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 They seem to invent new words on the news. The other morning the newsreader used the phrase "....in its stead" which he pronounced as "steed". How bizarre. Another one that gets me is when they use the word "estimate" as a verb but pronounce it as the noun. Why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time BBC Radio Cornwall's program is about the NHS in Cornwall. Excellent. Good job you're a grockle then. TH is about contributor comments, it's not a current affairs documentary programme. But then I've explained that before to R2D2 so have concluded that he's just a bit thick (or is it more politically correct to mention a spectrum?). Local programme for local people. No place for your kind of deserter. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No place for your kind of deserter. On Radio Cornwall the program is driven by the presenter who is full-on and motivated. On Manx Radio it appears to be driven by apathy from all concerned. Such a shame to treat a topic like the NHS in this way. Edited January 19, 2018 by GD4ELI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Flint Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 12 hours ago, dilligaf said: 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. ? Scale the staff, review the output, and run the comparison. The point is that two out of the three have to operate wholly commercially. The fact they have survived shows it can be done. 12 hours ago, dilligaf said: Do you not get a big Gov. cheque too ? I’m sorry I’m not sure what you are getting at there?
