Free
Licence Application Advice Helpline Launched

Radio Regen, the leading community radio development charity, is offering
free advice to would-be applicants for full time community radio licences
the South West and Wales.

On Wednesday May 4th and Tuesday May 10th, between 10.30 and noon, Radio
Regen’s Director, Phil Korbel, will take calls from groups who are preparing
their bids.  He can offer advice on the community radio group development,
on sustainable business planning, programming, funding and operational
issues, based on his eleven years running the charity.  Due the high level
of expected demand, calls will be limited to 15 minutes duration per group.
If demand is high, new slots will be made available.

Phil says:

‘When we set up ALLFM and WythenshaweFM in 2002 we had no idea there was so
much to learn, and how little of it was to do with radio.  We were lucky to
then be able to capture that knowledge in the Community Radio Toolkit which
is now available on line.  We are dedicated to seeing the UK sector grow and
thrive  – launching a help-line seems like a good way to help’

The help-line initiative is part of Radio Regen’s new consultancy service
for community radio groups [http://www.radioregen.org/consultancy] which
offers bid writing, business and group development, advocacy, mentoring and
trouble shooting services.

To book a call please email Phil using this
form<http://www.radioregen.org/consultancy/consultancy-contact/>or
directly to reserve a slot leaving your name, group and landline
number.
Slots start on the hour and run at fifteen minute intervals thereafter.  It
is highly recommended that callers read the appropriate parts of the
Community Radio Toolkit
[www.communityradiotoolkit.net/toolkit<http://www.communityradiotoolkit.net/the-toolkit/>]
before talking to Phil in order to maximise the effectiveness of the
conversation.  Please note that the free service is limited to the phone
call.
