Still hoping for Forth FM’s TM re-sings from circa 1990!

Yes it would be good to have a few more TM UK re-sings like BRMB and Chilton Network

I think the answer to your questions guys is that the MPF don’t have the Forth FM or any more BRMB or Chiltern packages than already released as they are all still at TM in Dallas.

Having seen photos over a number of years of lots of Ref DATs reels etc etc having been delivered to MPF on stacked up muckle great pallets
wrapped in industrial-grade clingfilm, I would have thought part of the exercise was to free-up space at TM by moving the sheer bulk to MPF !

I’m sure that there will be so many cartons galore still not even unwrapped even now, never mind the time-consuming job of dubbing them
serially in realtime to hard-drive !

Think of the scary amount of Ref Reels that TM “dumpstered” and destroyed forever years ago after whoever-corporate took over after the
original Tom Merriman era. At least TC’s MPF are “looking after” this “jingle heritage”!

I don’t think there is not enough time in the world to dub all the packages accumulated in the MPF warehouse and fear many of the tapes will deteriorate before they are transferred to the digital domain.

At the end of the day, sadly we must accept that not everything can be saved.

I don’t know what MPF has left to transfer, but I have to believe that if there’s a lot of work to get done, it will get done.
