Section 105 (D): Evidence of local demand or support<br />
<strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> has also gained support from the <strong>Rother</strong>ham Chamber and from a<br />
number of local businesses and groups who have declared an interest in advertising,<br />
and/or support for our proposals. Some of these groups advertised on our RSL,<br />
others have worked with one of the Lincs <strong>FM</strong> Group’s other stations. Here are<br />
selected quotes from some of those letters:<br />
“We believe <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> will deliver a new local station under Lincs <strong>FM</strong> Group’s<br />
management to meet the requirements of business and the community in<br />
<strong>Rother</strong>ham. I am happy that this letter of support stems from a decision of the full<br />
Representation Council and fully represents the voice of the business community in<br />
<strong>Rother</strong>ham.”<br />
John Lewis, Chief Executive, <strong>Rother</strong>ham Chamber<br />
“Having met with representatives of <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> and the group running the station, we<br />
are delighted at their application… Based on the models of Lincs and Trax <strong>FM</strong>, we<br />
are confident that the information and local news coverage will be first-class and,<br />
from what we are able to ascertain, they will have the support of local business.”<br />
Jonathan Fitzgerald and Steve Charles, <strong>Rother</strong>ham Chamber<br />
“We used your temporary <strong>Rother</strong>ham station earlier last year and will definitely<br />
advertise on <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> when you start broadcasting.”<br />
Dave Jones, Dixon Ford<br />
“We will do everything in our power to support the <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> application as their<br />
support for local businesses has already been shown.”<br />
John Silker, Hellaby Hall Hotel<br />
“I have just completed my first radio campaign with Trax <strong>FM</strong>… It is a shame that<br />
<strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> was not on air, as I would have extended my campaign… I will definitely<br />
use <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> for my branches in <strong>Rother</strong>ham if you are successful.”<br />
Trevor Morris, BullsEye Motorist Centres<br />
“I used your temporary licence to market our legal services… Following this ‘test’ on<br />
<strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> I am now in the middle of my second campaign on Trax <strong>FM</strong>.”<br />
Nicola McLaren, Malcolm C Foy & Co., Solicitors<br />
“Lakeside Village would like to show their support for <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong>… We are regular<br />
advertisers on Trax <strong>FM</strong> and consider that the <strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> service would be beneficial.”<br />
Laura Clarkson, Lakeside Village, Doncaster<br />
“<strong>Rother</strong> <strong>FM</strong> would be perfect for the town of <strong>Rother</strong>ham, its people and its<br />
businesses and organisations. I have dealt with you and your group for some time<br />
and appreciate the extra effort you always place in your relationship with me.”<br />
