[Office - ccr-fm]

Dear All

All radio sets manufactured to have FM / AM / Digital

Shift the big boys onto Digital (only)         

Loads of room on FM, easy peazy lemon squeezy, simple, straight forward lots
of smiley faces, no one losing anything, everyone being friendly and caring
and sharing ........... I could do it with my eyes shut, done and dusted in
12 months !

However, that ain't how it works, because everything has to be made unfair,
ridiculous, complicated, shambolic, argumentative etc etc and so on and so
on.

Once again I ask the question -- is it me who has missed something or am I
the one who is actually sane and it is everyone else who has lost the plot?
DUNNO'?

Come on Mr Vaizey / Mr Hunt / Mr Ofcom / Mr Jobsworth / Mr Bureaucracy
surprise me with something simple.

Best of luck to all Stations, those broadcasting, those seeking a licence
and even commercial radio ........ there is room for all of us.

Regards

Nick

Mark Menzies (Fylde, Conservative):

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport
what support his Department provides to help community radio projects
to obtain an FM or AM broadcasting licence.

Edward Vaizey (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Culture,
Communications and Creative Industries), Business, Innovation and
Skills; Wantage, Conservative):

The licensing of community radio stations is a matter for Ofcom, which
works independently of Government. However, earlier this year the
Government sought assurances from Ofcom that a further round of
community radio licensing would be undertaken to allow more community
stations to be licensed. Ofcom began a third round of community radio
licensing earlier this year.
