Bring it on

The Beans on Toast has a right old rant today over the decision by Carmarthen Council to launch its own internet TV service. Normally we would at least share the paper’s ‘scepticism’ but in this instance we feel it to be the right way forward for one of Wales’ better-run local authorities who can also boast an award-winning communications team – largely staffed by former Evening Post employees, as it happens.

The scathing comments that appear in the editorial – and which convey the distinct impression that the original version was covered in spittle – question if this is a service at all and repeat earlier condemnations of attempts by other local authorities to use modern mediums in engaging their different communities.

For ourselves, we’re sure that whatever the final look and relevance of the council's broadcasts, the content will be a huge improvement on the Evening Post’s own embarrassingly shambolic website – which is probably what’s pissing them off so badly.
