agree. As a sector no community radio stations are alike. With the services
they provide, how they provide them, what other non radio services they
provide, if they are part of a larger organisation or even what community they
are serving. We really should stop trying to compare like for like, learn from

shows weather it's a level playing field for example if a CR station have paid
workers they can spend time completing an application against a CR station who
only have volunteers who have full time jobs and are not able to spend the same
amount of time on an application. I would have thought the aim of the funding
should be to get all CR stations to a standard/level where they are all the
same with resources which in turn would make it easier for the CMA to promote
CR stations special in light of pass debate on the advertising of the 2011
census.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
The CRF Panel made clear about a year ago their priorities were<br>
<br>
1 New applicants (i.e. who had not had a grant before)<br>
2 Joint applications on behalf of two or more stations
(e.g. sharing a fund-raiser)<br>
3 Applications from stations that have had a grant before<br>
<br>
I don't think how many paid staff they have (or do not have) is a factor.<br>
<br>
