Community Media Festival 2023 – Live blog

At various conferences and events I attend I have posted a series of 'live blog' style Tweets/Posts on X. Given that X posts are no longer publicly available without an account, and many people prefer to avoid the platform, I have reproduced verbatim below…
Community Media Festival 2023 – Live blog
At various conferences and events I attend I have posted a series of 'live blog' style Tweets/Posts on X. Given that X posts are no longer publicly available without an account, and many people prefer to avoid the platform, I have reproduced verbatim below my tweets from the Community Media Association 2023 Festival held on on 28th October 2023.I have left in errors from the original post, and there will be some formatting errors due to the manual process of converting the content, further edits will be made in the future to fix these formatting errors and to embed the couple of missing video clips (once I work out a simple way of doing this.)

Community Radio listening figures – Is RAMS the answer we’ve been waiting for?

The perennial question to community radio broadcasters in the UK (and no doubt elsewhere as well) How many listeners do you have?

The perennial question to community radio broadcasters. How many listeners do you have? “RAMS” offers a solution, with some catches. Can we learn from the Podcast industry?

Over the past few years I've 'live tweeted' various conferences and events I've attended. Given that Twitter/X is becoming increasingly 'troublesome' and tweets are no longer publicly available (you need to have an account to read.) I decided to use BlueSky instead for my live blog from the UK Community Radio Network conference and Community Radio Awards 2025.
