Over the summer here in deepest hilly Cotswolds I was out and about at summer fayres and festivals, spreading the good word of Stroud FM, and a large proportion of those we spoke to said, yep, we love you, but we can't get you at home. Seems that riding about in their cars we come across loud and clear in the valleys of Stroud.. but go up any of the five hills that surround the town and reception is pants. This also affects our ability to advertise. as canny local small traders are wary of advertising with us, even tho we are well cheap, because of our poor coverage. Isn't the whle idea of community radio is that we reach out to the community.. bit tricky when they can't hear us. Meanwhile, Bath FM, which is a good hours drive away from us, reaches the top of one of our hills with no
difficulty whatsoever and, as its on the same frequency as us, cancells us out. Hey ho. </DIV>

I expected a bit of a ruck from the stations that had spot ads and sponsorship cental to their business plan - but there was none. Indeed one ex ILR head [who I'd expected to lead the charge] said he was happy with the rule - because of the 'in kind' rule in main. <BR><BR>I was part of the original lobby for sector's founding legislation and we proposed the 50% rule as a safeguard for a 'mixed economy' - to ensure that stations would not have to go for biggest audience/lowest common denominator - as they would if reliant solely on commercial revenue. Of course this does deprive some stations of vital revenue
so the challenge I'd put back is - what other means could there be to ensure that the essential 'social gain' character of the sector is not lost? And that cant be by more rigorous policing of the Key Commitements as we're likely to see a very different [shrunk?] Ofcom. Perhaps a different number other than 50%?<BR><BR>And besides - isnt the headlong retreat from local output by many of the main commercial operators opportunity enough?<BR><BR>So, let's have light touch regulation that preserves our distinctiveness - but please dont make the mistake of thinking that a solely advert funded station will be able to deliver social gain in the same way as a mixed economy one...

Therefore every grant we get for another area of the organisations work means the rule becomes less and less relevant to us (and in any case we had 14,000 hrs of volunteering last year, and had no commercial adverts).<BR><BR>I did have a major issue with the original rule though - and it cost our organisation heavily as we had to scale back our original Big Lottery bid to a figure which I felt we could match 50/50 - this is no longer the
case though.<BR><BR>So my recommendation - diversification......<BR><BR>Where I do have a serious problem with the 'rules' though is with the power and range we can transmit. <BR>Why should we be restricted to a fraction of the power of the commercials? <BR>In Aberdeen , we are in a situation where a large proportion of our target communities don't get reception - or get a very poor reception, and the commercials still moan to Ofcom that our reach is too far! <BR>Too far for what? <BR>We're not interested in stealing their revenues or audience - the opposite is the case.
