Topical Questions

Question
Heart radio has more than halved the number of local stations for which it was granted licences. Those lost include the one in Colchester. If Heart is not prepared to reopen that station, surely the frequency should be offered to the local community to run its own radio station—Radio Big Society Colchester.
Answer

If Radio Big Society Colchester does get off the ground, we all know who the breakfast presenter should be.
