Hello.

I wonder if someone from Tudno Radio could help out here:

Our small corner of south east Norfolk is passed over by the authorities when they make plans and develop policies for delivering services. It is a wide rural area made up of scattered small villages and farms.

I have been exploring the possibility of forming a service user led group to support independent living for disabled adults and elderly people and trying to think of ways to engage with the residents of this rural and excluded part of the world, especially those made captive by their impairments and unable to leave their homes.

After discounting internet conferencing - we do run a very successful internet Independent Living Group using Skype but involvement is limited by lack of computer equipment and willingness to use it, I have wondered about setting up a very local small radio station which would be ideal - effective for information giving and advocacy by phone in.

Could anyone please tell me what basic equipment would be required (grants are reasonably accessible) and what steps I would need to take to set up the basics.

Thanks and Heddwch.

Mike.

Tudno FM has been given another grant, this time the sum of £13,400 from the Welsh Government.

I speak to many people in Llandudno and, being completely honest, not one person ever mentions listening to Tudno FM. Do any of our Members listen to it?

In my opinion, Tudno FM had a chance to proof its worth as a community radio station when we were all snowed in around Xmas time and it failed miserably.

That may have been Xmas 2010 as my memory is fading fast.

Anyway, I am afraid I stopped listening to it a long time ago.

If it has any hope of getting off the ground it should employ the services of Ian Turner who would turn its fortunes round in next to no time.

Used to listen-- but there never seemed to be any local essential news, so stopped.

Running a radio station is incredibly time-consuming and very hard work, going well beyond simply being a decent presenter.  The legislation covering public broadcasting is immense and you need a team of presenters, producers, engineers, cleaners, general office staff, not to mention accountants, solicitors, and advertising and publicity managers.  It's a very big task, and not one you can undertake lightly, or even as volunteers, entirely.  Add  to that the fact that advertising revenue has plummeted for all commercial broadcasters in the past five years and you'd need to be very brave to take it on.

Tudno FM isn't allowed to run adverts, so has no real revenues. How can it be sustainable over the longer term?

The argument could be made that the Forum provides a far better interaction with the local community, with well over 9,000 visitors last month alone.

My youngest is on Tudno FM at 1pm today...The band is called Engage the Enemy and they're having an interview then playing a song live.

I don't see how it can.

Mrs Fester listens to Tudno FM in the kitchen whilst cooking.
Purely because of the decent mix of music they play.

I think the Forum deserves a grant from WAG for approx £200m.
Did I mention that I bought a 51% stake in this Forum earlier this year?  :laugh:
