[cma-l] Community Radio Order

[Alan Coote]

The obvious questions are;  

1)      Why is it that Community Radio has a disproportionate small amount
of government funding compared to; 

a.       Community TV (£40 Million) 

b.      Commercial Radio digital switch over (£21 Million*) 

c.       BBC Local Radio (£138 Million) from the License fee?

 

The Community Radio Fund awards in 2014 totalled £361,915

 

2)      What is he going to do about it?

 

3)      Given community radio reaches 10 million people a week, would he
agree that it has a unique role to play in helping government reach local
communities and sectors which are not being served by commercial or BBC
radio?

 

a.       Therefore, why is the government’s Cabinet Office not directing
some of its advertising budget to community radio?

b.      Would he agree if it did this would go some way to offset the measly
Community Radio fund and provide a great distribution of monies?  

 

*Joint funding from BBC, Commercial Radio and Government. 

 

Ideas or starter

 

 

Kind Regards

Alan

TO CMA members,

 

The Community Radio Order is due to be published on Thursday this week. I
will be interviewing  DCMS minister Ed Vaizey on Thursday morning. Time is
limited to around 15 minutes for this. I will be conducting the interview on
behalf of the CMA and welcome any questions you might like me to consider
informing the interview. We will naturally focus on the content and
implications of the CRO but this will be an opportunity to also ask about
other areas of community media development.

 

Best to all,

Dom 1
