Go digital Nov. 6, 2006

Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.

The prospect of local radio being international radio is made real and exciting by the prospect of the internet and listening digitally. I expect that people who used to live in Cumbria, say, who emigrated to warmer climates, Australia or the Med for instance, probably enjoy the occasional weather report from back home. How will this effect the presenters, their knowing that it is not just people within a 40 mile radius listening to them but rather people from… anywhere.
