Battle of the media behemoths

Coming this week is the announcement by the UK Radio Authority of who will win the jackpot radio license to broadcast in the West Midlands. With this comes disappointement for 11 applicants, or 'media conglomerates' as they're otherwise known, for they have lost out. It's amazing how we manage to have twelve applicants for a £25 million jackpot and so many of them are attempting to offer the same well worn formula: rock music for the 30-45 market. Tired and dull, radio 2 has enough listeners already. Give it to either Jazz FM or to the kids thing - Disney/Chrysilis. Checkit here: Guardian story
