Here’s three other ideas;Rather than sell the mux capacity to competing stations sell it to non-competing. Find companies that want a branded station. (The Bay also ran Chicken FM which was funded by a local takeaway entrepreneur – great source of income.)Segment your existing audience and create separate branded stations for each. Simulcast Breakfast and Drive, automate the rest. Selling advertising across the whole at a premium.This isn’t rocket science!

What a great idea...  stick a whole new extra tranche of stations on in your own area to compete with. A financially unsupportable notion.
Sorry, it cannot work. There is only a finite amount of money available for advertising in any given area and almost nothing in the way of grants or donations.

 Hi,
 6 channels? You could run more if you wanted. But you don't have to.
 Nor do *you* have to run them. Indeed, you could sell them. Got a sizeable Chinese community? Sell a slot to China Radio International. Or RFI. Or any number of broadcasters who want to be in your area. Earn money from this, don't let it cost you.
 Or rebroadcast channels your audience might find interesting (under agreement). Just like BBC World Service is rebroadcast by some US public stations on their DAB-equivalent.
 Use a channel as a part-time "extra" audio feed for rebroadcasting of council meetings or other things. Leave it dormant the rest of the time.
 Or, slag the whole thing off before you even start thinking of the possibilities. That, too, appears to be a choice.

 One thing that occurred to me, and I?m not aware of any comments so far, but may have missed them:


 There 6 ?channels? on these small scale MUXes.  Will that mean if the tests are successful and we are able to go ahead and have a local community MUX, some areas will be able to have 6 community radio stations in each area?


 I don?t know about anyone else, but the practicality of 6 stations in our area is going to be?.. well I was going to say ?a challenge? but we have that anyway with just us, so with 6 stations I can see some ?small? issue of viability.
