KCC Live in Knowsley was awarded a community radio licence in February
2008, subject to a condition in the licence that annual income from
the sale of paid-for advertising or programme or station sponsorship
should not, when taken together, exceed 15% of total annual station
income.  Ofcom has now agreed to vary the licence for KCC Live to
allow the station to carry remunerated advertising and or sponsorship
on the service subject to a maximum of 50% of total annual station
income.
