[cma-l] Ofcom revises its invitation for applications for community radio services in the East of England

[Ian Hickling]

As one of the instigators of a request to Ofcom to reconsider its stance on frequency availability, I would like to make the point that rather than changing its methods and procedures, Ofcom has agreed that one of the parameters determining whether any given frequency is suitable for use for Community Radio can be relaxed providing Applicants understand its implications for their planned service.

> 
> Ofcom invited applications in September 2014 for community radio
> licences in localities within the East of England, Northamptonshire
> and Milton Keynes.
> 
> Following this publication, Ofcom considered further whether it was
> possible for an FM frequency to be identified for a part of Essex that
> was not considered viable in our original invitation. Following
> examination, Ofcom has decided that there is a frequency that could be
> utilised for Southend on Sea, Castle Point or Thurrock.
> 
> Ofcom has therefore extended the closing date for these locations only
> to 5pm on Tuesday 3 February 2015.
> 
> The deadline for all other East of England, Northamptonshire and
> Milton Keynes locations included in this community radio invitation
> will remain, as before, as 5pm on Tuesday 16 December 2014.
