Interesting reading the CMA's briefing note.

>I'd concur almost. The last Ofcom published information on coverage areas I've seen (dated 9 May 2013) lists 89 'Analogue local' licences with MCA's under 150k. You need to discount Nevis FM who surrendered their 'commercial' licence when awarded a Community Radio licence. Furthermore recently Radio Hafren ceased operation, leaving 87 stations.

>However of these I'd classify eight of the small Scottish stations as "Community Radio stations with legacy 'ILR' licences". So that leaves only six small commercial radio stations who are 'independent" of a group.

>I also quote from the CMA document
>"The most significant change to previous restrictions on advertising and programme sponsorship revenue is the introduction of a threshold of £15,000 commercial revenue, below which the restrictions will no longer apply. This has two important effects.
>First, it will allow 18 stations that were previously prevented from receiving such revenues, to receive up to £15,000."

>I'd like to have a list of these 18 stations, as it's something that doesn't appear to be published by Ofcom. I'm trying to do some research into the "real world" effects of a community station near a small commercial station, but struggling to find a full list of CR's with restrictions.
