WHAT VALUE HAS LOCAL RADIO?


rPHE idea of establishing local radio services is now A /proving attractive to certain municipal authorities,


and while Clitheroe is loo small to contemplate such a project on its own one can visualise the time when we might be “pressured” to contribute to a service pro­ vided by one of our larger neighbours, oiackburn has already decided to apply lor a station, which if granted would have a range of about 12 miles so Clitheroc would just come within its orbit and thus micht b “invited” to join in. And this is discounting all the talked-of mergers, which might result in a forced con­


tribution via the rate levy. So the proposal much our concern and it is worthwhile to examine just


what value local radio would have and what its con sequences could be.


. . .. Of one thing we can be certain. It will be mightily


expensive. It is estimated that capital outlay station will be some £35,000 and that turning co te will be £1,000 a week . . . and bearing in mind Parkinson s


Law and the ratepayers’ own experience of escalating costs no one will believe that the figure will remain even


as low as that. Not both


The Government has ruled out—at least for a start —the financing of local radio by advertising and at thi


point we must declare our interest. To attract any advertising away from local newspapers would have a


sedous effect on their livelihoodi and mightJead to the closure of many of them. It could be sa d that th s is toe
