7. Evidence of Support<br />
Section 105 (D): Evidence of local demand or support<br />
This section should provide evidence of support, where appropriate, from the applicant’s<br />
potential audience or from prospective local advertisers.<br />
<strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> ran a two-week RSL trial service in May 2005, designed to give our<br />
potential listeners and advertisers an idea of what our full-time service would sound<br />
like. Despite the short time period and limited signal, there was an enthusiastic<br />
response from listeners via email and phone. We received dozens of emails praising<br />
the station’s output, in particular the local information and the blend of music. Here<br />
are some of the comments sent to us by email:<br />
“I for one will be waiting for you to come back on air.” – Mr J Watson<br />
“Hope it’s made permanent.” – David Meakin<br />
“A quality mix of music for all ages, even for us 50 somethings.” – anon<br />
“We do need our own radio station just like Dearne <strong>FM</strong>.” – Christine Millns<br />
“The music has been varied, something for every age group, info about travel and<br />
events happening has been tip-top.” – Yvette Davies<br />
“Fantastic, makes a change from listening about L**ds and Sh***ield all the time.” –<br />
“Rich”<br />
“The local news is really useful… A good choice of music from the 60s up.” – anon<br />
“Very good format.” – “Dave”<br />
“I’ll be telling friends and family about this.” – C M Docker<br />
“I want you to keep kicking out your tunes, you’re a breath of fresh air.” – Tracy<br />
Norbury<br />
“Unlike most other radio stations all song titles are clearly stated. Glad to hear the<br />
local news about <strong>Rother</strong>ham.” – Ian Priestley<br />
“A good mix of music, information and news.” – Paul Rowe<br />
“Yo. Bout time we had a station for Roth… Keep up the good work.” – Alan Dunn<br />
And, from the Mayor and Mayoress of <strong>Rother</strong>ham:<br />
“Thank you for the support you have given for our Open Day. I understand it is the<br />
best attended ever, which I am sure in part is due to your mentions.”<br />
