    Annual Report 2015/16 GD 2016/0049 Radio Manx Limited Financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 Radio Manx Limited Chairman’s statement I have followed the fortunes and output of Manx Radio for a number of years, having spent more than a decade building and managing television broadcast infrastructure overseas. Set against this background, coupled with more than 25 years of international business management experience, I was delighted to be asked to join the board of Manx Radio in 2015 and to assume the role of chairman in 2016. I would like to place on record my thanks and gratitude to my predecessor, Mr David North, who led the nation‟s public service broadcaster for a decade. The breadth and quality of Manx Radio‟s programme and digital output is impressive. A large part of this is achieved through the commitment and professionalism of a dedicated team, to whom I pass on my thanks. The role of national Public Service Broadcaster can be an onerous one in that the scope of the station‟s output is required to be extremely broad, calling for the full range of broadcasting skills and disciplines to achieve the balance that everyone rightly expects. Achievement of this balance is not easy as it is judged by an individual listener‟s subjectivity. It does, however, allow for healthy and informing debates and audience engagement. At all times, it is the nation‟s Public Service Broadcaster. Each year, we broadcast 5,772 news bulletins and publish over 5,500 Manx news stories on our website.

  • Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh
    DIRECTOR Dr Carmel McLaughlin Communications Commission Oaseirys Çhellinsh Director Dr Carmel McLaughlin Response to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review Phase Two: Preparing for the digital future 4 December 2008 1. Executive Summary The Communications Commission welcomes this opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s Second Public Service Broadcasting Review. The review contained the proposal to merge Border and Tyne Tees news but with separate 15-minute sequences in the main weekday programme for viewers in the Border and Tyne Tees areas and separate late-evening bulletins which would directly affect the Isle of Man (Section 7 and Annex 1 of Ofcom’s review). Following publication of Ofcom’s review, the Commission conducted a public consultation inviting views on proposals to change ITV’s regional news coverage. The issue was reported and debated on the radio, internet and in the Island’s newspapers. In total we received 120 responses from Members of Tynwald, Government Departments, Statutory Boards, Parish Commissioners, Women’s Institutes, Manx Radio and other organisations and individuals from across the Island. The Commission thanks everyone who took time to respond to the consultation and for their considered responses. This submission summarises the responses to the consultation. The Commission, Tynwald and the great majority of respondents to our consultation are of the opinion that viewers and the Island would be better served by the Island’s transmitters switching to ITV Granada rather than being part of the Border/Tyne Tees proposal. The Isle of Man while not part of UK has cultural, economic and social links with the North West of England rather than Border and the North East of England.
