Media Release 64/08

Call for Applications for Long-Term Community Radio Stations from 
Non-Profit Organisations Only

Following discussions with the Malta Communications Authority, the 
Broadcasting Authority has concluded a revision of its policy on 
long-term community radio stations. Hence with effect from Monday, 10th 
November 2008, the Broadcasting Authority will be receiving applications 
for long-term community radio stations, thereby lifting the moratorium 
which has existed on the issuing of licensing of community radio stations.

The Broadcasting Authority is thus inviting applications for a licence 
for a long-term community radio station as per attached form 
(http://www.ba-malta.org/file.aspx?f=845). The closing date for 
submitting applications has been set for Friday 28th November, 2008. All 
applications are to be addressed as follows:

Chief Executive
Broadcasting Authority
7 Mile End Road
Hamrun HMR 1719.

Further details as to programme content conditions, technical 
conditions, the call for applications itself and the community radio 
application form are available from the Broadcasting Authority’s website 
at www.ba-malta.org or by sending an e-mail to info.ba at ba.org.mt.
