This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.
I thought yuns might be interested in this slight deregulation in UK radio:
* FM local radio stations should broadcast at least ten hours of locally-made programmes each weekday during daytime (including breakfast) and at least four hours at weekends; and
* AM stations should provide at least four hours of locally-made programming every day of the week. Stations based in the nations (Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland) will be required to provide a further six weekday hours of programming from their home nation.
Given the challenging economic climate facing the radio industry currently, Ofcom recognises the need for flexibility and the case for reducing overheads. So Ofcom will now consider requests from stations with a population coverage under 250,000 adults for co-location and/or programme sharing with a neighbouring station. Where stations are allowed to share programming they will still be required to provide at least four hours of bespoke local programming per day.
That cuts locally-originated programming down from 12 hours per day. This is very interesting, too.
Ofcom has concluded stereo and mono broadcasting on DAB should be regulated to preserve sound quality for listeners. Licensees wishing to switch from stereo to mono must now request approval from Ofcom. This policy will be reviewed after 12 months.
...thereby allowing a higher bitrate mono over low bitrate stereo.
Funny thing is, what I get out of it, as it pertains to us here, is that if the fan base of WKKX and those wanting their own radio show moved to Scotland everybody concerned would get what they want...

Is it my imagination, or is the ring cutting off the circulation in that finger? Maybe she should take it off...!
She appears to be an excellent combination of "pretty," "attractive," and "cute." What's her voice like? I can just tell I'd love hearing her tell me stories and what's going on in her mind and heart......
Unless she's shockingly young. Is she shockingly young? Am I shockingly old?
What's this thread supposed to be about? Oh, shoot.....
"I don't know the same things you don't know."
"Yes, you do; you just won't admit it!"
"Yeeee...it looks like a 'Belt Buckle & Ball Cap' convention in here......"
