Isn't it likely that the only way that a Community station would provide a
living for anyone is if it is heavily dependent on grants or similar
funding?

And we all know that such funding is usually for a fixed period or can
vanish like snow off a dyke when the funding organisation is cut
back/abolished/changes direction etc....

We've seen several stations in this situation disappear recently because the
external funding dried up.

My feeling is that is you are truly earning a living from it then you have
become a full blown Commercial station?

Regards,

Eddie Stuart

I totally agree with Ian, we should not be profiting from other peoples work
and should pay the PRS/PPL .. but is anyone in community radio making a
profit, or even earning a living from it?
