[cma-l] Ofcom awards four new community radio licences

[Ian Hickling]

Ofcom always releases Community Radio Licence Awards in batches.
Usually after the final batch for a given region it will say that Licences were not awarded to the remaining named Applicants.It does not give reasons apart from alleged non-availability of spectrum - but there is a growing opinion that it should be required to do so.Our personal congratulations go to Mike at Secklow, Chris and Darren at MK and Terry at NNBC - all of whom have asked previously for our contribution to their projects - and of course to our old friend from back in Youth FM days, Tony Gillham at the Black Cat.

hi tony,
unlikely for ofcom to ever release why a license was refused but also this doesnt indicate any were refused, ofcom is releasing some licenses in this "area" bit by bit.. I think we have already had some released.

The applicants list for this round was around 16 - it will be interesting to see why so many were refused.
