[cma-l] Radio: Wycombe - Department for Culture Media and Sport written question – answered on 23rd February 2015

[CMA-L]

*Steven Baker Conservative, Wycombe*

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will take
steps to arrange for licensing of the Wycombe Sound radio station to be
expedited.

*Edward Vaizey Minister of State (Culture Media and Sport)*

Ofcom is responsible for licensing community radio stations and has awarded
over 270 licences to date.

Ofcom conducts licensing in rounds and invites applicants from each region
of the UK in turn. Ofcom has published timetables for the latest round of
community radio licensing and anticipate inviting applications from the
South East of England outside the M25 in the first half of 2015.

For reasons of fairness, Ofcom assesses all the applications it receives in
a region before awarding any licenses.
