In a recent eRadio bulletin, emailed out to industry types, anoraks and the occasional semi-detached journalism trainer, Stuart Clarkson of Radio Today posted a hard-hitting editorial.
Under the headline 'These are defining times in radio' he questioned 'whether full-service local radio has had its day, and whether it's time to quit the moaning and move on'.
In a forthright piece he takes issue with nostalgics who greet every announcement of a station merger or rebrand by sticking pins in a voodoo doll of Global Radio's Ashley Tabor.
