Radio Ga-Ga
The people of the north-west are not happy and were out on the streets of Sligo protesting on Sunday (it was a sunny day) Their local radio station NWR (North West Radio) has lost their franchise. The new licensee, Ocean FM, happened to mention in their application that NWR's audience were old, conservative and of a lower social class (how this was relevant to the application is a mystery to me). The slogan on the Ocean webpage is "Local radio for local people". Clearly, not all local people.
There's nothing like a bit of Ubermensch and Untermensch to liven up a dull old application form. Maybe the new station will just play Wagner.
