Dear Nick,
How kind of you to remember our plight! our MCA was in fact 14,500 so even when the restrictions are lifted, generating £15,000 pa in such a small area will be a tall order, especially after the commercial repeater that stopped us in the past has cleared up any advertising in the last 10 years they have been operating.

Bill et al
Cheers for this Bill …..there are a
few new ones on here from the list I had 18 months ago. I’d be interested
to know how many are actual (Community Radio Stations) in the true sense of the
word. I don’t mean that in a derogatory manner or meaning by are they
commercial Stations going under the Radar. For example I think the Colchester one is that Army Barracks isn’t it ??
and as for the Warminster one …………if they are the group
who I think they are, they were right up against it a number of years ago as
their MCA was under 50,000 let alone 150,000 !
OK, maybe I was slightly out, but on the
absolute spot on CR Station front, I reckon we are no more the ten
If we were all operating correctly and
morally this list ought to be coming back blank as there shouldn’t be
anyone on the list it is Pathetic !
Thanks anyway
Nick

Interesting reading the CMA's briefing note.
A couple of observations, it says:
"CMA analysis indicates there to be 88 commercial stations
broadcasting to a population of fewer than 150,000). Out of these 88 stations
only 20 can be considered to be ‘genuinely independent’ "
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.
Phil.
