RADIO 5 LIVE

Early day motion 1534, tabled 31 January 2006 by David Clelland (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House congratulates the BBC and all concerned for the excellent service provided by Radio 5 Live and the refreshing change in interviewing techniques from the gladiatorial style of Radio 4's Today programme; considers Radio 5 Live's presenters to be entertaining as well as informative and thereby hugely more successful in their efforts to extract real information and disseminate it to their listeners; is concerned that 5 Live is only broadcast on AM and digital frequencies; and calls upon the BBC to broadcast Radio 5 Live on FM so that the station can be more fully enjoyed by a wider audience.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 4, Conservative 3.
