Welcome to Travel News Direct, industry consultancy services and one-to-one travel reporter training from Andy McColl.
As more stations appear on FM and DAB Digital Radio, travel news has become an increasingly important feature of radio programming. Surveys carried out for various radio groups found an increasing number of people turn to their radio for accurate and timely traffic and travel reports.
It’s not surprising
when you look at congestion and vehicle ownership statistics.
At the end of 2000, there were over 24 million cars registered in the
UK, double the number registered in 1975.
Motor vehicles travelled 490 billion kilometres on Great Britain’s
roads in 2003. This was eight times more than in 1952.
Figures from the National Office of Statistics.
Enough with the statistics but now you know why you often either hear
about or get stuck in traffic jams.
With training from Travel News Direct,
I can teach you how to get your voice on the radio and listened to by
all of those people stuck in traffic jams.
