Have to say, The Eagle did not disappoint in Surrey. Their website is still passing on information today. http://www.964eagle.co.uk/

OK, it doesn’t look pretty, but it’s very useful. I see that my old secondary school are closed today as well… slackers.

Agree entirely on the importance of local radio in these conditions. I have posted notes for journalists and editors at http://newsleadermediaconsultancy.blogspot.com

It’s a nice thought, but sadly most local radio stations are local by name, networked by output. I wouldn’t expect that a local PD could ‘opt-out’ of the network feed, even if they wanted too.

It’s a shame, “local” radio doesn’t really exist now in most areas.
