Local Radio Stations

Why isn't there a single number to call local radio stations to report traffic conditions form a mobile (legally and safely of course) rather than trying to remember each stations number.. Wherever I dial 999 the call goes to the most local control room so the technology must exist Famous5 (Fri 15:04 29/Oct/04)

BenDToy		(Fri 16:36 29/Oct/04) Radio stations want you to tell them specifically. Remember they compete against each other for listeners. Why would they want to help out their competitors?
Oneeyedvic		(Fri 16:52 29/Oct/04) Yes, I think that is the problem - radio stations are commercial companies in competition with each other, where as the police are public servants and do not have a lot of competition!
Famous5		(Sat 09:27 30/Oct/04) Question Author Thanks for those answers, but they still don't take account of the many BBC Local radio stations which aren't in comercial competition.
BillyBB		(Sun 01:23 31/Oct/04) The traffic agency's such as AA and TrafficLink/Metro networks have to work to the stations preference. Remember the BBC locals compete with independent locals whom might use the same traffic provider.
