OK then folks...I actually think there is room for both. Small 'local area' stations commercially oriented and where appropriate - using networked output at times. That means we get a professional radio station, attuned to our everyday needs and supporting the local economy.
PLUS, we could also support a fairly tight bounded 'community radio station' which would be operated and served by several distinct niche groups. I'd envisage this utilising community skills initially from the following community segments; young people, at home mums, senior citizens. This would be designed to answer several pressing community needs. If you'd be willing to join in and help; or simply want a few more details - send a PM! So, we could have two stations; actually complimenting each other.
We see Newbury differently, you as a place to make money, me as a place to live.
So, any money you make as a result of living in Newbury you will donate to some charity or another (Newbury Sound perhaps). You obviously didn't think this post through. You seem to have a belief that anybody in business should not show a profit but you are allowed to earn a living as an employee with little risk and no ambition to improve your lot.
If you make a profit on the sale of your house, that to me also counts towards the money you make.

That's clearly not what I'm saying, perhaps you've missed the point deliberately to be antagonistic.
As an employee I have an ambition to improve everyone's lot, not just my own. That seems to be the difference here, the promotion of self at the expense of others versus the betterment of everyone. You go for the former, I go for the latter.
Back on topic, I'm saying that making money should not be the primary concern of a community radio station, and ideally this rule should to extend everyone else too.
That's quite obviously a separate bet. I'm quite confident on this one though, seeing as my first one came in as predicted.I'm quite "bothered" by our community, if you're not so that's up to you. We see Newbury differently, you as a place to make money, me as a place to live.
This is one example of many where you try to twist what people say in order to strengthen your point of view. I guess you use this http://www.searchlores.org/schopeng.htm as a guide.
All this 'community'stuff makes me wonder if you are a social worker
Your post was off topic and very negative. You added the "social worker" jibe and the sneer at "community stuff" in the manner of an insult.
Now which one .... 9 Use your opponent's answers to your question to reach different or even opposite conclusions.
24 State a false syllogism. Your opponent makes a proposition, and by false inference and distortion of his ideas you force from the proposition other propositions that are not intended and that appear absurd. It then appears that opponent's proposition gave rise to these inconsistencies, and so appears to be indirectly refuted.

This is just off topic antagonist trolling now. Grow up and keep it on topic or I won't be replying to you again.
Well, here's on topic. The only difference that I heard today between Kick and Newbury was thepromo track. The voices are different with the same content but the adverts and music are just the same. The news seemed to have more of a national theme. The traffic reports are the same. So, what was all the fuss about.
