<br>
Licensed community radio is part of Radio Player but we are still negotiating
with them on the fee to be charged - they will not let our sector be on Radio
Player for free. Figures bandied about are £300 per annum. We are
trying to get them to just charge an initial set up fee, hopefully less than
that amount as once you are on there is no particular reason to charge on a
ongoing basis. We are also discussing with them a much smaller fee anyway
for RSL holders. <br>
<br>
We do think Radio Player is a good idea for our sector to be on but I am sure
you would agree the price has to be right, given that the median income for the
sector is around £69,000 (Ofcom last Annual Report).<br>
<br>
The Player has not actually been launched yet, just the preview at the Radio
Festival yesterday. We will keep you posted re any developments.<br>
<br>
Best wishes<br>
