so i don't believe it to be a waste of time but a potentially valuable community resource for the borough and it's residents. and advertising is out of the question as it is a none profit making organisation. I am merely trying to find out if you as members of the community would be interested in having this as a resource or getting involved with such a project

It's a noble though jedi - - - but the question has to be asked, who would finance such a project?

I would have absolutely no idea on the costs of setting up such an operation but I saw an advert along Blackburn Rd. advertising "Radio Ramadam" and just wonder.......... without advertising, how would people know that such a service exists? and how much would be required to tell "the people" that they should tune in?

I still remember some mug pushing a bike around Accrington advertising "Hyndburn Life" website which had less members than fingers on my hands
