Tony Cowell has made a radio documentary of the making
of Simon Cowell’s Haiti single Everybody Hurts in a bid to help
radio stations in Haiti.
In the six minute report, listeners can hear Tony speak
exclusively with Susan Boyle, Mika, James Morrison and Simon
Cowell during the recording of Everybody Hurts at a London
studio.
Tony said radio has helped so much in the days following
the earthquake and he wanted to help support colleagues over
there:
“I saw on TV how radio stations were giving out vital
information and how the US military were handing out wind-up
radios to victims. But it’s not only that public service
function that’s so important, as we know radio entertains too.
So, I think radio will continue to play an important role in the
months to come.”
Radio stations that want to broadcast Tony’s exclusive
report should go to
www.grnlive.com/haiti.htm where it can be downloaded for a
donation of a minimum of one hundred dollars.
Tony said he liked the idea of radio stations in the
world helping colleagues in Haiti:
“A number of us who’ve organised this project will find
out which stations have made big contributions to their
communities and what their needs are. This is how the money
raised will be spent. For instance if a station is benefiting a
community, would funding for a more powerful transmitter mean it
could help even more listeners? I hope the generosity of radio
stations around the world will make a big contribution to the
role radio can play in re-building Haiti.”
Two UK based radio organisations have partnered with
Tony for the fund raising project. GMG Radio has produced the
audio and there has been further support from worldwide radio
news agency Global Radio News which represents Tony Cowell.
