The most worrying thing about the North West Radio issue was the consultants' description of the listeners in the west. It was a deeply insulting profile of them as uneducated and all aged over 65 years. It has won the award for radio station of the year again. We can all do and think what we want but do we really listen to the people? Do we think we know what is best for them? If so we do not deserve to hold any kind of office to represent them. We have to listen to the people and if they enjoy the station and voted it number one it is mighty high-handed of a consultancy firm to say the listeners are not educated and do not know what is best for them. I studied the report, much of which focused on Sligo where there is a student population and probably a younger profile than most of the west. It comes down to whether we are listening to the people and representing what they want.
