I do hope the CMA will challenge Power to Change over their stance on Community Radio.  They are plain wrong when they say, and I quote from their own website:

'hard to demonstrate they are locally rooted, as they cover a broad geographical area like a whole city, rather than a neighbourhood. Applications from community media organisations have often struggled to provide strong evidence of how they benefit the wider community'.

What utter tripe.  If I wasn't busy getting a station ready to launch, I would take them on.  I wonder if there is someone from Global on their board.

The second window for applications to the ?10 million Community Business Fund is open until 31 August. There will also be an application window open in October. If you are a community business that needs funding for a business development project which will make your organisation more sustainable, then you should consider applying.

There will be other funding programmes going live in the course of 2016 that will be publicised through their website and newsletter.

Last year, ?8 million of grant funding was awarded through the Initial Grants Programme.
