The talking newspaper for Coventry started in 1976, producing a 30 minute cassette delivered by hand to a small number of people in Coventry.  Increasing listernship was helped by royal mail agreeing to deliver the tape free of charge to all it’s listeners in Coventry followed by a increase in broadcast material to 60 mintues each week. In 1990 a further increase of material took the weekly show to 90 minutes. The new millenium started to take the show to new media. A trial producing and delivering the show on CD produced mixed resuts followed by a trial on USB stick. The USB stick was the preferred option and also opened further devleopments inclusing  SD card, internet broadcast and itunes download. The cassette is now phasing out and the show looks now to continue to broadcast on a multiple of digital platforms
