Local Radio Station Axes Sports Coverage
Local Radio Station Hertbeat FM has cut local sport from its schedule. The news was delivered to the stations team of volunteers in an e-mail from new Managing Director Brett Harley on Thursday evening. It is understood Mr Harley was out of the country at the time. The decision brings to an end 5 years of local sports coverage in the area which saw the Saturday afternoon show Matchbeat become essential listening for sports fans. After hearing the news Reporter Pete Hill said "this is a kick in the teeth for the voluteers who have worked so hard to provide a service and a great blow to the local sporting community." The station is now thought to be concentrating on a music based approach.
