MN.06.05.1999 - Escape to Torremolinos

There used to be a great round-table discussion about radio content organised by the EBU and Spanish National Radio RNE. It was held every two years in Torremolinos. The venue in the Malaga conference centre was great because the room was like a football stadium. It worked because everyone could see each other which is essential if you want to get people talking whose native language is not English. I went to one of the events in 1999 and got a glimpse of what people where thinking about the future of radio 11 years ago. I think it was a pity they were discontinued. Perhaps that's because the venues they chose later were more like a classroom. So who got it right and who was well off the mark? Listen back to this Media Network spring safari and let me know what you think.
