"To know that you have contributed to other peoples enjoyment of life is a gift with which some of us have been lucky to have been blessed. It will never be taken away from us and, for that alone, we should be grateful"
(Ed Stewart's autobiography)

 

Local Radio should mean local radio. There is no point in broadcasting a syndicated programme from outside the broadcasting area. It might be less expensive to produce, but does the presenter know where they are referring to or have any personal knowledge of the road/travel/news situation they are talking about. Sadly the answer is usually no and it shows. Keep Radio Local - you know it makes sense!
