Saves them ever plugging the website on air, and recognises the multi platform world they operate in. The .com could direct to a Facebook page rather than a cluttered website.

Apparently early names for Radio 1 were 'Radio Elizabeth', presumably in response to 'Caroline' and 'Melody Radio' which doesn't fit well with a new pop station does it?Andy Walmsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647763223166778941noreply@blogger.com
