Chairman defends station's community value
Manx Radio has announced an annual loss of almost £65,000.
Its commercial turnover for the last financial year dropped by more than £200,000, from over £1.5million to around £1.3million, whilst the public service subvention has risen.
That stipend will rise to £995,000 for the financial year ending 31 March 2021, as approved by a Tynwald committee in October last year, having previously stood at just under £900,000.
