[cma-l] Community Radio Licensing Timetable

[Ian Hickling]

Useful - but I'm not aware of any PR saying that.
It'll be fascinating to see the detail in the invitation.

Hi,





At Ofcom's Draft Annual Plan Stakeholders' meeting in London this week, they stated that they would be issuing invitations to apply for community radio licences in the Greater London area in the next two weeks.





Regards,





Peter.

Hi



And still no clear path for a timetable for them to open up more merit based applications outside of these regions.

Ofcom issued this notice yesterday:
http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radio-broadcast-licensing/monthly-updates/update0116
This section is particularly significant:


Community Radio 

Community Radio licensing timetable

The community radio licensing timetable has been revised for the final two regions. See here: http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radio-broadcast-licensing/community-radio/apply-for-licence/timetable 

Ofcom intends to invite community radio licence applications from Region 10 – Greater London and other areas within the M25 during the first half of 2016.

There will be an opportunity to apply for a Medium wave (AM) band community radio licence for locations anywhere throughout the UK in the second half of 2016.





The relevant Timetable section is shown as:




10

Greater London and other areas within the M25

First half of 2016

12 weeks after opening date



11

Medium wave (AM) band, for locations anywhere throughout the UK

Second half of 2016

12 weeks after opening date



It appears therefore that Ofcom may have found usable FM frequencies within the M25 - and still is of the opinion that AM is a practical and feasible alternative to FM for Community Radio services.

I feel we need a lot of clarification here.
