Upsetting but predictable news coming out of Reach PLC this week - less than a month after they confirmed their operating profit for the year is £95 mill approx. Solidarity with all those whose livelihoods are at risk.

Another questionable proposal from Ofcom here - set to allow TalkSport to reduce its AM coverage by 4%. Is the principle of universal access to broadcast radio still a priority for the regulator? Will the freed up AM spectrum be made available to community providers?
