We host the main Sparkradio studio at the campus in Chippenham and there is a
satellite station in Salisbury and there is a small mobile studio too. We are
very proud to have helped develop this project and continue to be be associated
with it. Good curriculum and marketing value for the college. Local community

established....and were paid for the service too!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

new creative and digital media apprenticeship programme, a radio pathway is
already possible and Skillset are promising to develop this. We will be looking
to recruit specialists to deliver the programme of masterclasses that will
support it, we may need to hire training space too. I am sure other Colleges
will be offering the CDM apprenticeship too...a great progression route for
young volunteers...and maybe an income stream too. The key phrase in the apprenticeship
stuff is about industrial competence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal> Nick, I adore your passionate defence of community
radio and long may you keep shouting. Particularly agree with the idea
that because we embody everything to do with the Big Society, that somehow
its fine and dandy for us to exist off thin air.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, like Shirley's station in
Swindon, we have close links with one local FE college and another
has expressed interest in hiring our facilities. Both are looking to
deliver a Level 3 qualification ( bit like an A level equivalent in old
money) , with the teacher's and student's provided by the
colleges. All we do is hire out our training studio. Last year I
raised almost seventy grand in grants, (including dosh to build a
training studio), but this year there's been little on
the grant front that hasn't been oversubscribed.. so have instead
concentrated on running courses in partnership with schools, colleges, for
agencies who want to improve the job prospects of long term
unemployed, silver surfer IT courses etc etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are allowed to run adverts... but to be honest
the thing we always run up against is the poor reception - so people
would rather spend more money at Heart FM because at least they can be
heard everywhere.. and I can't say I blame them . We need to boost our
power, because as I have said before on this forum.. we are really badly
hindered by mad topography round here. It's lovely living in these hills, but
rubbish for reception. Approached OFCOM last week about the possibility of
maybe having a second frequency to reach one of the harder to get to valleys
and was told it's unlikely. Will now be making a concrete case for
increasing our power. Wish me luck.<o:p></o:p></p>

in other-words, when
your guys come down in a couple of weeks time, they will be sat in a warm
studio, with microphones, lights on and broadcasting because we have paid

College that is only 4 miles away from it’s Community Rdio Station not run
courses for students ….?? Most stations in the
Country (217) have a relationship with their local learning zones and
colleges, but we don’t. What are we doing wrong
