Mr. Karim suggesting £ 75 k is not an extravagant amount of money to run a community radio station with quality programming. T<BR>
he reason it has taken so long for the community Radio Station circuit to rise up is the lack of real funding for :<BR>
<BR>
a) More producers with network experience ( in part-time or full-time capacity) <BR>
b) Community media education projects <BR>
c) Solid financial backbone. <BR>
<BR>
By your calculations £ 12,500 is enough to run a community radio station, you are right , it is enough to ‘run’ a station , but will it really produce some breakthrough programming and community projects? which have sustainability and the right network level quality to appeal and attract younger listeners ? or even listeners who are spell bound by the hit-40 music format being churned out of tabloid radio ? Definitely not. Too long our sector has been seen as average level programming run by people in ‘spare time’ , community radio stations across the country are doing some excellent work, and the one’s who want the sector to become a leading force in Radio, and not a poor step sister of network radio, will agree with what Mr. Karim says, it could be £ 75 k or less, or more, but the point being a set amount, substantial enough to produce budget radio with quality and give each station some financial backbone. <BR>

Talking about 35 million would lead us to a dead end, why not simply ask for £75k for each community station per year. <BR>
