6th April 2008: Global Traffic Network sponsors Production 08

Global Traffic Network UK is teaming up with the Radio Academy to sponsor its Production 08 event at London’s IndigO2.

Hosted by Christian O’Connell, Production 08 is a day of workshops, debates and interviews focusing on making stations and programmes sound better, connect better with listeners and expand onto other platforms.

Global Traffic Network specialises in providing top-quality traffic and travel reports to radio stations (for free in return for an embedded 10” advertising message) and Head of Radio Anthony Rudd says that being associated with Production 08 is a great fit: “Production 08 is all about returning to making great radio and that’s what Global Traffic Network is all about as well. We concentrate on doing one part of radio really, really well, and creating a fantastic business deal with the station or group. We use aircraft and top-quality sensor data to gather the best information, and broadcast it using great, experienced reporters.

Trevor Dann, Director of the Radio Academy, welcomes GTN’s sponsorship: “We are delighted to welcome Global Traffic Network as a patron of the Radio Academy and sponsor of this event. The future of our industry depends on high-quality programming. GTN are dedicated to that objective and it’s good to see them investing in the UK radio industry as a whole”.

Production 08 is at IndigO2, at the O2 Arena in London, on 15th April.
