Not more TV stations!

So much has gone on during the past week – and I’m starting to think that someone is speeding up the world. I seem to be constantly experiencing new things, most of them good, I might add – and questioning so much more.

Like . . .Do we need another TV station? And will a local TV station add value to the community? Or is this just another crazy idea that will fizzle out after haemorrhaging loads of money?

Well, I’ll let you judge. Last Friday, I was invited to the studios of Bay TV, Swansea, for a live interview, which was a total surprise as I was unaware that the station existed.

What a great set-up and run buy truly enthusiastic people. Here we have a station in the heart of the Swansea, running on a tight budget, producing quality content and developing talent and growing at lightning speed.

My interviewers were Cai Williams, Henry Darby-Cook and Carwyn Evans, who had all done their homework on me in advance, ensuring appropriate questioning and giving me the opportunity to share something colourful to benefit the viewers. They were talented and professional from the off.

Following this experience, I’m now more convinced than ever that local radio and TV is a must and had I had more room to write this week I would easily convince you as to why.
