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 If you do come across a permanently broken link --as opposed to external publication archives which are no longer valid --please help us to help others by letting us know by E-Mail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.

Audio links note: The BBC has changed various links as it introduced its i-Player. As of the end of 2010, we have corrected links back to December 2009, but not earlier.
