| Guest | Good news for chorleyfm....I hope a community platform works better for you...The station had a great following.... I know some people will hate this but dont you think a local groups should try for community and if it works out try for a local bid ...its a hell of a big jump from rsl to full time local station... The people who helped build a station get pushed to the side and money people take over. This way the station is not a shadow of its rsl past. Good luck chorleyfm | ||

These boroughs are so close together, they aren't all that seperate in identity at all. C'mon, Chorley is a small Lancashire town, albeit quite afluent in some areas, can anyone really see the need for such a station when another local station is going to open within a year of this one? Talk about saturating the market..... This one is going to be so underwater, it'll drown before long! Don't Ofcom have a map of the area, to see just what they've done? Don't confuse me with Zorp Furbal | ||

I think the new Preston, Chorley, Leyland licence will have a wider appeal and I would be surprised if they covered this market at all. | ||

They are two different types of station though. One is a commercial station along the likes of Wish and Tower, the other a volunteer run community station along the lines of The Eye in leicestershire. | ||

So they are looking for sombody to do that. As its un-paid though they will be hard pressed. | ||
