[cma-l] UK wide advertising for community radio ( and later possibly TV...)

Mon Sep 5 17:48:15 BST 2011

Hi Jacqui,

I have written to the Minister regarding viability of Community Radio stations.

He is supporting commercial viability of proposed new local TV services, so I feel strongly that the same consideration should be shown to community radio services.  The fact that many stations can be "commercial" whilst a handful of other stations have hands further tied behind their backs is unfair.

More community radio stations are being licenced, whilst existing stations are closing due to funding problems of various kinds. 

It is a Government decision that can change the rule to allow all community radio stations to have a level playing field.  This is what I am asking, on behalf of SWINDON 105.5, that they consider. 

At the moment there is little point in us attending the meeting, but it would be good to hear the results.

with kind regards,

 Shirls

Dear all

We have been working with Donald McTernan since the CMA Conference in June to take forward his proposals to create a UK wide ads agency for the community radio sector, and in the longer run possibly to include community/local television as well.  

We are now at a point where we would like your views on how it could work for you (licensed stations/internet radio/RSLs).  We would not want to supplant in any way stations' current advertiser pools but do believe there is a potential ads market out there for stations that can take on air advertising and for stations' internet presence as well.

To that end there will be a meeting in London on 7th October - venue to be confirmed later - for people interested in exploring this with us.  

If you would like to attend please do get in touch with us on advertising at commedia.org.uk

Best wishes

Jaqui
