[cma-l] Closure of Stroud FM

[claire penketh]

 It wasn't that nobody was prepared to help enough. Stroud FM existed virtually on the good will of the volunteers alone towards the end and it was their sheer will power that kept it going. it's always, however, going to boil down to hard cash.
I feel really sad about it, as I and a small band of volunteers grew the station out of an annual RSL to a full time station and we all put in blood sweat and tears.
 
 Its been two and a half years since I left... and I have great memories of the massive changes we made on peoples lives who came to us as volunteers

Such a pity - another brave lttle station that nobody was prepared to help enough.
That makes 243 licensed, 14 never made it to air, 18 failed and 15 yet to appear.
The rest, with a few exceptions, unsure of a future.
