Re: caroline"
Exactly Mike, Caroline had to be sufficiently different in the application & the reality of broadcasts, to even GET a licence. Otherwise the "Borg" stations, could have rightly said: "Caroline has a licence to do virtually the same as us, at a fraction of the cost - we want our prices reduced!" It is also, it seems, also what the folks that fund the RRSG, buy the T-shirts, + lots of other merchandise & go on the boat trips want. They are speaking with the action of spending their cash, not just words. "Free radio" has never been free from costs - it is probably far cheaper to fund Caroline as it is now, than when Tons of Fuel had to be transported to the middle of the north sea. The rules are being bent a bit by relaying the Caroline North broadcasts on 648 (With a more Borg-like music content). But I doubt, if OFCOM lose much sleep over it I could think of few other things, mentioned in the licence application, that are not happening either - but that seems "Par for the course" when it comes to community radio. It is just great, to have a mostly good, music station on MW, that is not riddled with Government propaganda via the news.
