[cma-l] Get the debate going on air - one month to go for the petition!

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

Community Radio Fund petition - lets get the number of signatures up 
from 1900+ to 10000!

The CMA and community radio stations around the country are supporting
a campaign for an improved financial settlement for the sector
including an increased Community Radio Fund. The campaign is already
gaining coverage in other media and community broadcasters are
naturally keen to publicise it.  The CMA has published guidelines for
stations wishing to support the allthevoices campaign:

http://www.commedia.org.uk/2009/08/24/allthevoices-guidelines/

This guidance note is intended to assist community broadcasters in
fulfilling their role in promoting local democratic discussion with
their obligations as broadcast licence holders to respect the rules of
the Broadcasting Code. It has been prepared with the assistance of
independent legal advice. The guidance does not substitute for the
terms of the Broadcasting Code or the Communications Act 2003.
Broadcasters should obtain their own legal advice if in any doubt on
any of these matters.

You may download the guidelines from here:

Best wishes
