I've paid for live! with only really the intention of using it last night and tonight as we're off over in the morning so for me it's at a 50% failure rate so far.
Tax payers covering the cost of the radio.. someone's getting well paid if its costing that much to run, it's got more adverts on it than any commercial station round here. And why play music DURING practice? Do that before and after, while practice is on and my mates are out on circuit I want to know they're ok.

I don't know how aware you are of how Manx Radio operates - not very I'd assume. Radio Manx Ltd is a company wholly owned by the Isle of Man Treasury. In exchange for providing a significant element of public service broadcast it receives a subvention from Treasury. This equates to about £1 million a year and is paid for from the money raised through the collection of taxes in the Isle of Man. As the Isle of Man has a zero rate of corporate tax, that means it is mostly from income tax receipts. The actual running costs of the Manx Radio are, reportedly, close to £2 million - the balance of the costs are met from advertising sales.
As far as whether it represents good value for money or not, and whether the standard of broadcast is good enough, I think I may tend to agree with you.
Counting down the days to TT09!
