209 Radio
I've just received the devastating news that 209 Radio in Cambridge is to close due to a lack of funding. I must say that I'm devastated.......that it didn't close down years ago. This so called service to the community was a group of wanna be DJ's who in my opinion shouldn't even be allowed to speak in public, let alone on the radio.
They've started a campaign to get funding from the community to save this valuable resource. Yet if it was truly valued, there wouldn't be a problem. People would be flocking to advertise on it.And yet.
My problem is these people are playing at radio for an ego boost. I've heard some very badly researched and presented shows including a half wit girl bleating on about how she's great friends with all the local bands in Cambridge, then telling us about her non existent social life, a load of posh students taking part in a quiz presented by someone who sounds as if he was given elocution lessons by The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, and even a full hour of a loud, piercing whistle, showing how arty they are. Now why would people not want to tune into that?
If they really want money, rather than bleating on about how they need advertising and businesses need to support them, they should be in their local high street with collection buckets. Then the local people will be able to support this valuable resource.Or perhaps they'll tell them what they think of the station.
But as far as I'm concerned, 209 Radio, good riddance.
