Personally, because these formats are so niche - an announcer with
*some* form of in-depth knowledge of the music would be great. We
could actualy learn something about the genre, it's history, it's
future. Not to mention this would add value to your 'brand' and
therefore help with credibility (and sales if you're that way
inclined). Even the big stations may listen to yours and like it.

Theres so much potential in LPFM, although sometimes a jukebox is all
you really require.

Clare, you are fantastic.
