Alfred is a not-for-profit station. Boom is commercial radio. Neither takes a penny from the public purse. Whether you watch the BBC or not, tv owners must pay £170 a year or face jail. The BBC abuses your money to threaten self-funding innovative services like Boom. It's wrong.
I’m going to be cheeky and post the edited story from today’s @Telegraph Sunday paper (there are more details online).
No glossy pictures sadly 😂 but the essence of the story is there. Do spread widely if you can @BoomRadioUK in a fight for its life.
At 1:00 pm, 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm on Alfred 107.3 FM, the managing director of BV Dairy, Jim Highnam, explains why he took the decision to sell the business to First Milk. And Jim tells Alfred what it means for the company and its staff. 'It’s business as usual."
