You don't offer a name, which makes it difficult to claim any kind of
credibility.<br>
There are quite a few misconceptions which need correcting.<br>
Licences don't come every 5 years.<br>
Ofcom invites applications from time to time and licences that are awarded run
for 5 years.<br>
Licences aren't legal or otherwise.<br>
Either you have a licence or you don't.<br>
If you don't, regardless of your content, audience or good intentions, you're
breaking the law and you must expect prosecution and heavy fines.<br>
Despite being pressed for an answer, Ofcom won't explain how Rinse obtained a
licence.<br>
The only feasible route would appear to be for persons who had not been
associated with illegal broadcasting for 5 years or more to submit a licence
application in the name of the pirate and offer a similar genre of music and target
audience.<br>
Ofcom doesn't make licences expensive - and you don't and can't buy one.<br>
The licence fee is £600 per annum.<br>
Compliance with other requirements such as music royalties which you won't have
paid previously are what can cost a considerable amount.<br>
Ofcom isn't praising Rinse for what it has been in the past.<br>
It has decided that the Applicant had good enough reasons for being awarded a
licence.<br>
Ofcom isn't persecuting Frequency by handing out crippling fines.<br>
It's obeying instruction from Government and doing its duty as a Regulator.<br>
The fines imposed are only to be expected by Frequency's actions and you surely
know that.<br>
If you wish to become legitimate you should follow the actions of Rinse and you
could well be successful.<br>

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>For the last 4 years, Radio Frequency in
Leeds has been synonymous with the underground music movement in <st1:place
w:st="on">Leeds</st1:place>. Crucial in pioneering new music, it was
instrumental in bringing the now ubiquitous sound of Dubstep up North, &
has broken in many artists who now command international respect. Today, it is
home to over 50 DJs playing cutting edge music from across the board; whether
it’s bass, house, garage, drum and bass or hip-hop, no other organisation
has devoted as much time & energy to the underground cause.</span></font><font

swiftly became one of the most revered institutions in <st1:place w:st="on">Leeds</st1:place>,
and indeed the North, attracting thousands of listeners on a daily basis. So
– what’s happened? It’s been over 6 months since Frequency
was last heard on the FM dial, and whilst its online presence is still going,
many feel its glory is fading; the truth, however, is that it is preparing to
grow and be bigger than ever.</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>Going back over the last 12 months, Frequency
has experienced its share of troubles. It’s well known that two key
members were arrested and taken to court on charges of illegal broadcasting.
Despite not going to prison, a cumulative £12,000 fine was handed down.
Frequency has always been non-profit; all money donated to the station has gone
into the running of it, ensuring rent is paid, transmitters are replaced &
the broadcast never stops.</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span

color="#504945" face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>£12,000 then, is not an easy sum of cash to
come up with. Emergency measures have been taken; the costly FM broadcast has
been switched off, leaving the radio as a solely online broadcast. Frequency is
trying to get back on its feet, but with the FM gone the audience has dwindled,
advertisers will pull out & a number DJs have show little loyalty &
left entirely. The last few months have been tough. Within the circles of
Frequency, it would be justified to look back at this time as a trial of faith.</span></font><font

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>It is perhaps a testament to the tenacity and
dedication of the people behind the scenes, to the DJs who are still on board

we are paying off the fines –</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span

have floundered & sunk under the recent pressure.</span></font><font

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>That said, the crippling effect these fines
have had on the station can’t be ignored – there’s a long
uphill struggle to win old and new audiences, to get people tuning in online
and to bring in new talent. Furthermore, what happens once the fines are paid
off? Does it switch the unlicensed FM broadcast back on? If this happens, there
will be more arrests and more fines, and perhaps a jail term… In many
ways, it is hard to see how Frequency can come back, at least in the capacity
it was before.</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>Certainly Rinse has all the makings a
bonafide music-orientated business – it has regular CD releases, sell-out
events at Fabric and Matter, and boasts a roster of internationally famous
professional DJs. Yet, it is not legal; its pirate broadcasts continues, in
breach of Ofcom regulations: its music & ticket sales clearly fund the
organisation (& in turn, the aforementioned broadcast). Whilst Ofcom
praises Rinse, it hands Frequency crippling fines.</span></font><font size=2

more community broadcasting licenses being given out in the <st1:place w:st="on">Leeds</st1:place>
area. This represents Frequency’s best chance of making good, to put the
love and dedication & sheer hard work of the last 4 years into creating a

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>There are problems though. Ofcom
doesn’t make it cheap to buy a licence; an annual licence costs tens of
thousands of pounds, which can be raised through advertising, but Frequency
will either need to shake its reputation as a pirate station and the negative
repercussions of the last 12 months, or hire some very good PR personnel.</span></font><font

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>Furthermore, Frequency needs to be able to
manage itself – a legal organisation is different from a volunteer led
pirate station, it will need to secure a professional team to lead it. Existing
personnel will need to step up, knowing the end rewards are great, or there
needs to be external volunteers brought in who would become employees should it
go legal.</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

font-family:Tahoma;color:#504945'>The possibility of a legal, urban music station
with a youth & community-orientated approach is a perfect outcome. Existing
organisations, such as the Pat Regan Legacy and Unity Day, have proven highly
successful. The scope for Frequency is even greater than these. With a legal
license behind us, we will be able to run workshops in the city’s schools
& colleges, training young people in different aspects of radio
broadcasting.</span></font><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:
