Whilst I agree with you Scott, on matters involving local participation, I believe the route cause of the issues with community radio stations is centered governance.
If I was on the management committee of a community association, I would want to know and do the following:
1. What is our purpose? (know your community, and measure your performance)
2. How are we to be governed? (ensure integrity mandated and is maintained at all times)
3. How do we manage internal issues / disagreements / conflicts?
4. How do we self / internal audit ourselves and share results?
Look, I get what you are saying, but believe that the lack of integrity in the management committee's is the key.
I look forward to your next installment of your investigation.
I believe Scott is referring to commercial and public radio stations being centralised, the governor. This is actually a huge opportunity for community radio stations to engage local business while commercial/public are losing touch with their broadcast areas.
