[cma-l] Funding News - Community Business Fund (UK)

[Martyn Haynes]

this. again.

Community radio
Despite receiving a lot of applications from community media
organisations, we have not yet funded a community radio station. This
is partly
because community radio stations find it 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.
