We need feedback from you. We want to hear news, views,
comment and intelligent debate about the radio industry. We'd also like
to hear about talent around the globe in radio. Please E-mail
us if you have stories or comments worthy of inclusion (See our About
page).
We add new links to Radionewsweb.com as we come
across them. We also regularly test links but whatever we do they sometimes
fail --sometimes temporarily. If you do come across a permanently broken
link --as opposed to external publication archives which are no longer
valid --please help us to help others by letting us know by E-Mail
Note- In view of the numbers of viruses, worms etc now proliferating,
we automatically delete messages with attachments unless
these have been sent by prior agreement.
We never send out replies with attachments except by prior agreement.
We also tend to automatically delete e-mails from unknown sources without
a title that specifically ties in to a subject we can recognize.
