Depends if they’re registering as a charity or a business. If a business (which is the only way I can see to become a “sustaining member”), you can see the fees at the bottom of page 1 of this membership application form.

£220 if 8 or fewer employees. £650 if more than 8 employees. How many employees are there at Manx Radio?

Has anybody else picked up on Howard Caine's habit of pronouncing any foreign name in a Spanish accent yet?  This morning on the news he referred to "prithi pathel" and I've noticed him do it on multiple other occasions too, for some bizarre reason he seems to think that any non-English name is pronounced in this style.

It's just a bit weird.

He has been doing it for years. Every time he sees a foreign-looking name, he seems to feel the need to pronounce it in a phoney foreign accent. Problem is that his phoney Spanish accent is the same as his phoney Middle Eastern accent, which is the same as his phoney Russian accent......etc.

Oh wow. Ok. A whole twelve quid or so a week.

It doesn't really matter whether it's £12 or £12k does it? It's the fact that a national broadcaster supported by public money is apparently happy to be seen to be fully supportive of a distinct political lobby group, which openly seeks to promote the interests of a particular minority demographic - no? I've no idea if there is a statement that MR is supposed to be politically neutral, but it cannot be if this is the case. 

How would people feel if the Celtic League Isle of Man Branch became "POWERED BY" it's newest corporate member Manx Radio?

The CoC is made up of a wide ranging number of businesses.   Do you actually know anything about it?

I don't think anything in the statement I've made contradicts what you have said. Are you claiming that that they are not a political lobby group? Or that they do not represent a minority group in society?
