Kismat Section 105(D): Evidence Of Demand & Support Radio “I am writing on behalf of the GOOD Shepheard Sisters in Harpurhey, Manchester… We were very interested to hear about Kismat Asian Talk Radio and the many and varied opportunities it would offer to the people of Manchester. As well as providing a much needed service for the Asian community in general it would reach many who are isolated or housebound and contribute to a better quality of life. We also feel it could offer many benefits to the wider community, for example by raising awareness of cultural issues and helping to educate and foster an understanding and appreciation of differences rather than conflict…. We hope all will go well with your application to Ofcom and want to assure you of our support.” Sister Kathleen Franklin, Good Shepherd Sisters …… The proposed service would provide a much needed mechanism for both the exchange of information and a forum for open and honest debate. At present Manchester is served by only one Asian radio station despite having a substantial Asian community and the emphasis of the existing station differs vastly from the service you propose…. I wish KATR every success with their Ofcom application . . . “ R Turner, Team Leader Oldham Social Services “….. As a senior Social Worker at the Royal Oldham hospital, I feel sure that the talk radio would be an excellent way to inform the Asian community of all the support services available from Oldham Social Services. I would like to wish you every success in your bid to secure the license for Kismat Asian Talk Radio.” Heather Hall, Senior Practioner, Royal Oldham Hospital … As a Transfer of Care Co-ordinator working within the Oldham Primary Care Trust I am confident that such a radio station will be effective in raising health related issues that are pertinent for the Asian community. Ann Shaw, Transfer of Care Co-ordinator, Royal Oldham Hospital “… We at Oakland Care Centre are very pleased to support your bid in obtaining a licensee for Kismat Asian Talk Radio…. We serve a multi-ethnic client group in the Rochdale area – A dedicated Asian radio station would greatly benefit the community.” Paul Frampton, Relief Manager, Highfield Care “… A new radio station for the Asian community would be of great help in highlighting and raising awareness of health issues…The PCT would be more than happy to support a radio station of this type.” Gail Richards, Chief Executive, Oldham Primary Care Trust “On behalf of the Christie Hospital NHS Trust I am writing to offer our support in establishing a new Asian Talk radio service for Manchester. We believe that this specialist radio station would be an excellent means of communicating with the local Asian community and would welcome this additional service….” Joanna Wallace, Chief Executive, Christie Hospital “… There is no doubt in my mind that various sections of the Asian community would benefit from such a station. It would also break barriers between various Asian groups. . .” KK Vedi, Consultant Physician “In principle the City Council supports the development of the radio spectrum so thast it can offer a more broader range of services to Manchester residents…. If your application is supported by Ofcom, then I can assure you that your organisation will receive a warm welcome from the people of Manchester.” Cllr Jim Battle, Deputy Leader, Manchester City Council “… On behalf of the members of the association, I am writing to support the Asian Talk Radio service in Manchester….It will provide information on various projects, to the asian females, elders, disabled people who stay at home and will not know what is happening outside ….” Ghulam Rasul Shahzad, Chairman, Association of Pakistani Graduates International Evidence of Support Section 105 (D) : Page 9
Kismat Section 105(D): Evidence Of Demand & Support Radio “On behalf of the members of RABSA, I am writing to support the above Asian Talk Radio service in Manchester…..The Asian Talk Radio Service will be providing services in the languages of the communities, which will make the communication very effective. It will also benefit those service providers who are trying to promote their services to the ethnic minorities in their areas.” Ghulam Rasul Shahzad, General Secretary, Rochdale Asian Business Support Agency (RABSA) “… I am sure that an Asian Talk Radio station will be well received in Manchester and that it can play a very helpful part in raising awareness about the many issues of concern to asian communities. I know of Sunrise and feel confident that the impartial and professional approach to broadcasting that Sunrise represents will be a great bonus for the Manchester asian community….” GS Ranshi, General Secretary, Sikh Association, Manchester “I am Chairman of the British Medical Association for Tameside & Glossop, Secretary of the Local Medical Committee… I fully support the above application to obtain a licence from Ofcom to broadcast Kismat Asian Talk radio as it will benefit all sections of the Asian community… Sunrise Radio Co has expertise in running very successfully and they are financially viable.” (Dr K Chand, West Pennine Local Medical Committee) … It is vitally important to build community cohesion amongst all groups in Manchester.

We have station blasting out song after song in the area with very little discussions about ‘real’ issues that concern the Asian people in the area – discussions that would involve 35+ age group.” Mohammed Amin Janjua, Mobs Mini Market “… I’m sure the new radio station will be warmly welcomed by the local community and business sector, especially with the idea of ‘real’ talk show with ‘real’ issues discussed.” A Khan, Managing Director, Motorcade Car and Van Rentals “… This will be a major benefit for all Asian people and will give each person the chance to become involved in real debates over the air.” A Sher, Manager, Platinum Hand Car Wash “… This will be fantastic for both the Asian community and those interested in hearing issues related to real life…” M Shah, Gym’ll Fix It … We hope and pray that you are successful in your application and look forward to tuning in to Asian Talk Radio Al Faizan, Proprieter, Balti House Take Away … We believe that we definitely need such a station in our area to take-up concerns of the ethnic minorities especially asian….
