[cma-l] How community broadcasting is funded – a useful resource for community broadcasters

[CMA-L]

Abstract

This article is intended as a resource for community broadcasters and
researchers. It draws on interviews and discussion with community
broadcasters and activists to identify practical examples of funding
methods. The seven common methods of funding a community station are
detailed. These are: support from the station's own community; patronage
from a larger organisation; commercial advertising and sponsorship;
competitive grants; service contracts; support by NGOs; support by
governmental agencies. The article points to resources where the reader can
discover more fully how each funding method is used, and concludes that a
prudent station may use several methods to help ensure economic
sustainability.
