BBC support for Radiodays Europe

While the BBC and Commercial Radio will continue to compete for listeners, there is a bigger battle to be fought: To put radio at the heart of Digital Britain. That is why as an industry the BBC needs to work with commercial radio. The need for compelling content is vital. But of equal importance to the health of the industry as a whole, is a common approach to technology. Sharing with each other has to be the way to go and that's why I support the establishment of Radiodays Europe.
