Radio Ga Ga

Got this from the Guardian

Portsmouth Football Club is to acquire a 50% share in three local radio stations on the south coast.
The club has entered into a heads of agreement with The Local Radio Company to form a joint venture to run The Quay in Portsmouth, Spirit FM in Chichester and Isle of Wight Radio.
Portsmouth FC said it aimed to "strengthen its ongoing two-way relationship with fans and the local community".
Quay FM is already a commercial partner of PFC, transmitting live coverage of the Premiership club's games.
The joint venture will see live coverage of games and news transmitted across the other two TLRC stations to extend coverage beyond the Portsmouth area.
"The fans will hear far more about the goings on at the club both on and off the pitch, while our sponsors will see their profile raised with more broadcast coverage of the club," said Peter Storrie, the chief executive of Portsmouth FC.
The deal with TLRC follows the recent relaunch of the club's official website, portsmouthfc.co.uk, and a broadband subscription service, PfcTV.
TLRC's three radio stations will continue to be managed independently of PFC.
