[cma-l] The Cost Of The DAB Trials

[Bay Fm Radio]

 Hi everyone.
  
 We’ve done some homework regarding the cost of the DAB trials - If I’m stating the obvious/cross posting I apologise.  However, I thought you might appreciate my sharing this with you.
  
 Ofcom are providing the equipment but:
  
 You would have to pay for someone to install it etc

 You would have to pay for transmission site & other costs, eg. Electric

  
 Plus then there are the licence Fees

  
 You'd need to apply for a DSPS Licence Cost £250
 Ofcom have waived the Annual Fee so that saves £100
 PPL Licence Fee is £500 + vat flat fee for the 9 months = £600
 PRS Licence Fee is £0 if you are a licence FM Station
 as long as you don’t generate more then£29,499 in Net Broadcasting Revenue during the 9 month trial.
 However, If you are an online only station you must be already licenced by them for the online service and then they will charge you £705.25 + vat = £846.30
 as long as you don’t generate more then£29,499 in Net Broadcasting Revenue during the 9 month trial.
  
 So the trial will cost you 

  
 Existing FM Community Station min £850 + Installation Fee
 Exisitng Online Only Station min £1696.30 + Installation Fee
  
 Andy.
