Congrats to MônFM, from what I heard yesterday they are serving a need especially in local Welsh language programming.

I have actually appeared on the station (in a decidedly non award-winning interview) on a visit back in 2012 in their pre-permanent Community Radio licence online broadcasts.

Overall a very good day.
Finally back over the chilly Pennines home.

Narrowly missed out on having to make any speeches, with Gold's going to some other worthy winners, but still some great recognition for my colleagues at @oldhamcommunityradio.com @allfm.bsky.social @wfmradio.org

Stephanie "I'm a full on radio nerd" but fine line between being an "anorak" and a "broadcaster".

"Community Radio is the new ILR" so important to tell local stories.

Stephanie talks stories about making it all about the audience and how people make people remember features years later.

Rebecca mentions impact reporting. Wavehill Community Radio Research every minute a community / voluntary group on air has £5 of impact.

Interesting discussion point on developing young people into Management roles not just being a DJ.

More listening research

Suggests no RAJAR figures not a problem using digital analytics and other feedback and also pay for some Nielsen research - which particularly researching members of target community "engagement" rather than "numbers" is what they use.

Be Broadcast has a fortnightly newsletter, but find it hard to find Community Radio stories.

Why do brands not use Community Radio?
CR poor at sharing their success and impact.

Generative engine optimisation.

Tools such as Chat GPT draw their info from many different places. Info from your website may appear in AI answers.

Suggests listening numbers are not as important as you might think. Be clear on what you offer.

Dom does a bit of a history review of pre licenced Community Radio in the UK and introduces a panel of stations from different nations of the UK.
