affecting the community radio licensing regime.

Consultation Paper:
++++++++++++++

The Digital Britain Final Report sets out the Government’s commitment
to consult on the following proposals:

•	for a one-off five-year extension of community radio licences;
•	to re-visit the rationale for the current restriction of 50% funding
from any one source; and
•	removing the rule which prohibits Ofcom from licensing a community
radio station if it would overlap with a local commercial service with
a coverage area of 50,000 adults or fewer.
