Hi Ron
Please could you forward an invitation - you might also consider a
United for Local Television speaker - I'd suggest Peter Williams, Dan
Cass or Marilyn Hyndman.
If you're looking to Scotland - as you are with Bobby H - I'd suggest
Julie Craik from the Scottish Local TV Federation otherwise there's
no real representation of localities - unless Manchester stands in
for Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, Perth & Kinross, Dundee,
Angus, Fife and the Highlands and Islands or Aberdeen - all with
their local TV proposals with Ofcom (most of which are confidential
for obvious reasons).
... so perfectly understandable these have slipped beneath the
Salford radar - but of course Stewart P should know better since he's
been in their sights!!
All the best,
Dave
