Could Manx Radio be given an additional £95,000?

Treasury Minister Alf Cannan will put forward a recommendation for the increase to Tynwald later this month, following the publication of Manx Radio's annual report and a separate report to Tynwald.

The Minister will ask the basic public service subvention be increased from £899,830 to £995,000 from April, 1 2020.

He'll also ask Tynwald to approve the recommendation that Manx Radio remains at Broadcasting House.

You can see the report to Tynwald HERE:
