Up to 900 now! Thanks so much if you've already done this. If you haven't? Only 100 to go to hit the target of 1000. Can it be done by the end of the day? NSC likes a challenge...
Thank you. Just to let you know, we now have 850 responses, thanks for all your help. Our target is 1000 so not far to go! If you have 60 seconds, I'd be really grateful if you could answer the survey. It's been bloody hard work getting this far!
The BBC local stations have brought back more local programming recently, possibly in reaction to commercial radio changes. I certainly feel this could be an opportunity for BBC local stations to gain listeners if done properly.
No, not under threat as far as I know. But the industry has gone a bit crazy since deregulation. Hundreds losing jobs, millions losing their local shows and stations. Travesty is, it never needed to happen. Commercial radio is making more money than it ever has done, record profits and...
Bounce!
If there is any chance we could keep this going, it would be amazing and much appreciated. We now have nearly 700 survey responses, but we need to meet the newsroom standard of 1001 responses. I know from past experience that NSC is really helpful with stuff like this.
Thanks again
It's surely not right that local FM licences (like the old Juice & Southern ones) are now being used to broadcast a virtual national product via the backdoor. These brands (Heart/Capital/Smooth) already have the national versions of their brands available to listeners via DAB.
Ultimately all...
Hopefully it won't happen quite as drastically as it has here. It may be wise for regulators in other countries to "wait and see" what happens following deregulation in the UK...because it could easily turn out to be a disaster.
I used to work on Juice for a few years. Shame its no longer there and now the only 3 hours of "regional" programming a day on 107.2 will be coming from Fareham and the rest from London.
Southern was a GREAT station and the reason I got into radio in the first place.
It's an issue that has sadly gone largely unnoticed by mainstream media. Maybe something to do with the brexit shambles. But it's something I feel has slipped largely under the radar.
Hi all
I haven't posted on here for years, but some of you may remember me as the former Amex stadium announcer until a few years ago.
I'm also a local radio presenter and recently the radio industry has seen a lot of change. It is affecting local stations, not just in Sussex, but across the...
Just thought I would pass this on, on behalf of Martyn Waller who was a PE teacher at the school.
Sadly he was diagnosed with cancer last year and he is arranging a get together to catch up with some old faces at Brighton Rugby Club, Waterhall, at 4pm on Sunday 24th Feb.
There will be a...
I never post on here any more, but when I was reading through NSC and saw this I was deeply shocked and saddened.
Frank helped me numerous times (via NSC) whenever I had troubles with my computer. He gave up his free time to help me at no cost and I will remember him for that kindness.
RIP
