All techs have been approved. In the history books - we have the largest power wattage. North 1000 x2
South has even more. We don’t want to boast too much as means greater coverage but also greater cost!
Angle 1000 direction
Allensback 600
Penlan omni 1000
Map shown of indoor coverage
All major A roads and water way is covered.
We should have good coverage all the way to the other side of Carmarthen.
In conversation with further East who may launch Swansea multiplex so could end up there too with cross selling. Really good scope. Cardiff already awarded and hopefully Swansea will be picked up after being given back.
North - 2x transmitters
Arnolds Hill 1000
Brandy 1000
Good coverage save for Fishguard and Goodwick.
TX is £25,000 each if we pushed to a 3rd one. Will see how tests go. Proviso with OFCOM for a 3rd site should we need it.
Timeline - things are moving quickly now which is good after a slow 6 months.
Site visit on Tuesday and Thursday. Lots of pictures and knowing what needs to be ordered. Electric, power, specialist equipment
15th July sign off with Viamux
Final contracts and all sent on 19th July. Equipment on the 2nd. Start installing on the 9th in the South first.
14th October in the North all being installed by 20th October.
Soft launch - tests first and let them know, but let’s see how it goes. Big launch with Xmas Xtrav to drive traffic.
Solid campaigns for early part of the year.
We don’t know how the market is going to react straight away. Will only take one piece of golden information such as accident - they get home quicker than the other half and that could be a turning point. Little moments will add up. Will hopefully stay with us. Will take time.
Hard hitting campaign at birthday. Car stickers. Spending a week in each town for a week. Giving out radios. Lots of billboards up to summer.
By the end of summer 2025 everyone will know who we are!
Outcome of election will dictate FM as Crabb has been a great help. Either that can rekindle with Crabb or Tufnell to resolve that issue.
Toby has presented to parliament in the past, even MP asked why cant you just apply?
More stars have aligned. James Bruce welcomed to the team. New addition into the team, he is in the studio every Monday and Tuesday. Off radio for 6 years. He is assisting Tom and looking after all clashes.
Craig Odlin been with us 6 weeks on a Sunday.
Looking ahead from August. Helena Ensther Morgan. Has worked with Scarlet and Carmarthen and will do Afternoon Weds, Thurs and Fridays from August.
Still aware of need for local and professional talent. G&T with Folly Farm. Ocky White are continuing support.
Daytime is looking strong , Toby pleased with evolution of schedule.
News - large human error led to Alaina being discharged for Gross Misconduct. The nature of the pre-recorded information not being checked couldn’t be tolerated. Wish her all the best following all of the coaching she has had.
Highlighted processes that could be looked at… To support the news team there will be Sarah Jane Absolom will be joining the team 3 days a week. Shadowing next week. Head of News. Gives a lot of control and assists to the team. Martyn may come back to read. We’re not journalists, we’re broadcasters so someone who is an award winning journalist can pick us up to the next level.
News team have been excellent to date.
Happy to have letters from OFCOM as we want to push boundaries. Don’t want us to be scared but we need processes in place.
SJ can look after features and news and podcasts and news content with snippets and press releases from one large interview. This includes a constant back and forth. We can hold people accountable.
We’re good at quick news. But it’s not usually ours. Wheelbarrow was BBC but ours popped off helping us get to 3 million reach. She will bring the news team together.
Toby really enjoyed one to ones. 75% of the way through. Heartwarming to be part of the team. Including personal level and how we can communicate better. Such a vast number of people in different areas and jobs. Working on it.
Loads of events coming up. If available let us know. We can make it happen.
