Susan Stranks, former presenter of the ITV programme 'Magpie', submitted one of the eight bids made to the Radio Authority last week on behalf of Abracadabra, a radio station for children aged ten and under and their parents, carers and teachers, which launched a digital station earlier this year. In its application Abradcadra said it would meet its listeners' needs 'by playing a unique mix of music and speech, centred around fun and discovery for children, and parent-orientated entertainment and information for the grown-ups'.
Interested parties should send comments on the proposals and on their own recommendations to the Director of Development, Radio Authority, Holbrook House, 14 Great Queen Street, London WC2B 5DG by 27 August.
