Programme #59 (March 2022)

In the March 2022 edition of Wireless, we look at the importance of the AM broadcasting band which has sprung back into life due to the war in Ukraine. Steve Whitt tells us about the work of the Medium Wave Circle and Peter Moore, manager of former pirate Radio Caroline, discusses the station’s plans for future AM broadcasting. As we await the report of the Future of Media Commission, Sally-Ann Wilson, CEO of the Public Media Alliance, discusses various models for the funding of public service media, and David Harris comments on future funding of the BBC in its centenary year.
