	Yorkshire Folk Arts: News: Folk Music Coverage Axed by BBC Local Radio
		This further marginalisation by local broadcast media of folk and traditional music comes at a time when the BBC at national level has been showing signs of treating it with a degree of respect not accorded for a long while, and has to be seen as retrogressive.
		YFA has taken up the case to reinstate folk coverage on BBC local radio stations in the Yorkshire and Humber area, by writing to the heads of all four local stations, the head of the Yorkshire cluster and the head of local radio in the UK.
		BBC local radio stations have in the past been obliged by letter-writing campaigns to back down on decisions they have made, and it is understandable that they would wish to avoid this where possible.

	Local Radio - keeping communities happy

		Radio 247 was to take over the 247m wavelength (1214 KHz) hitherto used by the Light Programme for a small number of 'filler' relay stations for the parts of Britain that could not receive the longwave transmissions from Droitwich adequately.
		All the BBC local stations were later to be allowed to broadcast on medium wave in addition to VHF to improve the potential numbers of listeners that could tune in.
		BBC Radio London had a powerful 50kW transmitter installed, together with a pair of new masts at Brookmans Park using 206 meters (1457 kHz), whereas BBC Radio Birmingham, also using 206 meters, had to make do with a sloping wire aerial lashed on to the Sutton Coldfield television mast fed by a 10 kW transmitter.

		Or BBC Radio Lancashire, which pioneered the concept of delivering lifelong learning through an on-station community open centre and a travelling bus.

		BBC Local Radio has had the same target audience for years - its age doesn't change, but the people do, and we need to stay in touch with them.

	Aircheck UK
		Even as far back as 1922, the BBC had shareholders - they made their money by selling the receivers - but the income they got had to be large enough to support one service from many widespread transmitters.
		The first BBC radio services had to look after themselves and put their own programmes together - but the various productions were only allowed to go to air after a review which lasted a substantial amount of days.
		The BBC was nationalised in early 1927, but this only assisted with the expansion of the BBC Radio network.

	News and Media information for Andalucia, Southern Spain
		Local radio may sometimes be criticised for not coming up to BBC standards, but many of the stations on the Costa del Sol and in Andalucia in general, provide not only music, humour, entertainment, news and sport, but also a lifeline for many faithful listeners.
		Information on up-coming local events and club activities are often advertised, so that if you are new to the area or just want to keep in touch, this can be a great source of initial or on-going social contacts.
		Radio is said to be more intimate than television because it seems as if the presenter is speaking only to you.

	TV & Radio Bits - Radioland - BBC Radio Surrey
		The fully merged BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey was in the lucky position of being able to broadcast entirely its own output from dawn to dusk, with no opting into regional programmes.
		Plus, from this point on, the former Radio Sussex frequencies of 104.0 FM and 1368 AM would now be carrying the Surrey breakfast show as well as 104.6 FM, meaning that, unlike during the Radio Surrey era, local programming would be clearly audible across the whole county.
		Local programmes for Surrey, North-East Hampshire and Crawley can now be heard on 104.0 and 104.6 FM weekdays from 6-9am and 4-7pm, plus 6-9am and 2-6pm on Saturdays.
