[cma-l] Community Radio Licensing Timetable

Wed Feb 3 18:28:56 GMT 2016

What I don't understand about all of this chaps (someone please explain)
how come London are last on the list ?   I would have thought that would
have been first bite at the Cherry ?      mainly because it's the Capital ??

I'm not complaining, I was just a bit surprised. 

Someone past a comment about Cannock     are they still broadcasting yet ?
what's going on ?

I'd go further.

Still no indication of what will happen after Region 10 is completed - and
no response to several pointed requests at a high level to accept those
Applications on a merit basis with no implied priority outside the Regional
structure.

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:

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/app
ly-for-licence/timetable>
http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radio-broadcast-licensing/community-radio/appl
y-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.
