[cma-l] Ofcom publishes reasons for the award of four new community radio licences

[Phil Korbel]

but the sad thing there pop pickers

is not only the expected bar on Canalside Radio getting any 
commercial revenue but also the limit of 15% put on the Merseyside 
group - because they could be a threat to the little commercial 
station on their patches.  

I'm one of the folk that thinks there should be a limit on 
advertising revenue for community station but this is too tragic for 
words.  The revenue needs of good community projects are being 
hindered because dull commercial stations are need their profits 
protecting.  I think that if commercial stations like these paid more 
attention to their own communities they simply wouldn't be so 
unpopular.

come on - let's have a debate - and maybe the lurkers from the 
commercial sector could also chip in...
