Those who voted against North West Radio also disregarded the presentation made to the commission by the BCI chief executive. The chief executive could not be more positive or complimentary to NWR. The shareholders and directors, he said, had remained largely the same. The management of the station by Tommy Marron and Mary Daly had been successful.
