Former MLC weighs in on debate
The founder of an Island radio station and former MLC says politicians should begin negotiations for the BBC to replace Manx Radio as the public service broadcaster.
Speaking in front of a Tynwald committee investigating public service broadcasting this afternoon, Juan Turner said the move would eventually remove the need for a subvention and improve the output.
He played down concerns it would result in a loss of identity:
Michelle Mone-linked PPE firm liquidated and unlikely to repay £148m
Judge Sebastian Prentis placed the company into liquidation
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Water and debris likely to impact coastal routes around high tide
Proposed new laws would support homeless people on the Isle of Man
Government seeks feedback on introducing new legislation
DESC chief officer to retire in 2026
Graham Kinrade has been in charge of the department since 2020
