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

[Alan Coote]

Easy Tiger!

Small commercial station may argue they had been given a license by 
Ofcom so could reasonably expect the regulator not to scupper their 
business plans by later introducing pseudo commercial outfits without 
imposing some constraints.

However, I believe a much better approach is to level the playing field.
Commercial stations should have the ability to become community stations.

Another thought:

*Headline*  "Radio Local says it will now start servicing the community"

And yes, levelling the playing field work both ways.
