I have nothing to do with the festival.

But........

When I am at home, and at my parents, and we cant tune into the station. This is replicated around the area, that would still be effectively in Castlebar area. Your website states 30,000 in your catchment area.

But the appeal of the MWR, in my humble opinion, is its increased catchment area. The point of festivals is to bring in people to the town who would not normally frequent the town. People in your catchment area would normally be expected to frequent the town regularly already.

If the choice was one or the other, it would be an easy decision to see which would be the preferable option. The harsh reality I would expect MWR would demand they were the sole radio coverage.
