there.<br>
We have a operating budget of around £500,000 this year, but we don't any of it
because we have a licence from Ofcom or a radio station.<br>
It's because of the outcomes we deliver on; in our case it tends to be with
marginalised or disadvantaged individuals and/or communities.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that you need some support to rethink how and what you're
applying for, as it sounds like you do lots of good work with young people for
example.<br>
Does your local Council or Council for Voluntary Organisation have a
Fund-raising Officer? Sometimes they can help.<br>

from my phone in frustration at reading that the best way forward was to give
everyone the same - as been said a number of times on the list, it's a bad
idea.<br>
<br>
Here's a suggestion to everyone who likes the idea of sharing out the whole
fund and making good use of the £2,000 they receive. Spend around the
2hrs or so that it takes to complete an Awards for All Lottery application, and
if your project is sound, you're very likely to receive £10,000 - five years
worth of evenly shared out Community Radio Fund awards.<br>
<br>
The key to all of this is outcomes - if you are delivering 'Social Gain', you
are ticking 'outcome' boxes for most of the major funders. That's where
the real, and sustainable money is (i.e. 3-5 year funding arrangements).<br>

Whilst I appreciate Trevor's desperation to get things done, sharing a paltry
sum equally is no solution.<br>
The only sensible way to allocate a given sum is as at present - by application
stressing need.<br>
But - as he says - we do need vastly more funding in addition to that
which is available if you look - and fight - really hard.<br>
All the CR stations we deal with need to enhance their transmission systems to
capture more listeners and thereby attract more funding.<br>
That would require a lot of money but it also needs Ofcom to clear every
single new transmission application.<br>
Ofcom has said it cannot even consider any such applications at present because
it has over 200 new potential stations to process and new broadcasters
have precedence over existing licencees.<br>
That's another very real need that CMA needs to address please.<br>

Weekend Digest<br>
<br>
It's been a busy week, and I have some comments to make. I must stress they are
my personal opinions, and do not reflect the views of the Council, of which I
am an elected member.<br>
<br>
This week Nick said that he believed the Community Radio Fund money should be
shared equally. Whilst it remains at under £500K that gives each licensed
station about £2k. At my station it means that our 100 volunteers can expect a
cup of coffee occasionally. In any case we give £850 to OfCom just to hold a
licence so the nett cost, after 20% VAT, will be marginal.<br>
<br>
Importantly it means we can tell all our listeners (is that an estimated 13
million) that we only receive £2K. I think the BBC's 44 stations spent over
£600 million last year. So who gives value for money? We should<br>
tell our listeners how we are treated.<br>
<br>
If everyone gets the same money there will be no need for a committee to decide
(I wonder what that costs in coffee and biscuits?). It will certainly save
OfCom money.<br>
<br>
That anyone should judge whether a licensed station is more worthy than another
is not a valid argument. OfCom issued the licence - so we are all worthy until
exposed as charlatans.<br>
<br>
Such a paltry sum can be turned into a lever to make the government recognise
our value. We can provide services they require - all they have to do is
recognise our existence.<br>
<br>
This raises a much wider problem. We are all scrabbling around to find funders.
Many stations employ full-time fundraisers, when it would be more productive to
recognise the value of community media, and to allow us to take over some of
the functions of local BBC, and to relax the restrictive practices that
discourage entrepreneurship within our sector.<br>
<br>
CMA should<br>
consider employing outside expertise, and carefully chosen some of those could
also provide funding. Advertising agencies, IT and equipment suppliers, joint
licensing and many other options could be considered.<br>
<br>
We have the opportunity to create a real sense of national pride, to build
local communities, to train and support local talent. We just need to be given
a modicum of support.<br>
<br>
Such financing can arise through providing services. One significant example is
that we should be the first suppliers to the Central Office of Information. We
know we can provide services at a competitive price and we have a deeper reach
into society than any other media. <br>
<br>
I believe we should use the BSkyB decision to further our aims and aspirations.
A significant portion of the media is now in the hands of one Australian and
his son. That helps my sense of national pride, but importantly offers us all
an opportunity. We can provide local news, and we<br>
can supply real information about the mood of our people. Increasingly other media
are separated from the people. Commercial radio agglomerates, newspapers and
satellite stations are monopolistic.<br>
<br>
We are the only media in touch with real people.<br>
<br>
I'll repeat these are my opinions - not those of the Council.<br>
