rightly suggested limiting advertising income to new stations where there are
other community stations / small commercials. This is because the limited
commercial revenue cannot be split any further – the cake is really only
so big. Anyone running a station CR or commercial will tell you the same.

This is a certainly a welcome announcement but in my view would trigger several
points where action is required of existing and prospective licence-holders and
hence of the CMA:<br>
<br>
1 - This programme is far too lengthy and must be drastically shortened by the
employment by Ofcom of more staff to cope with the clear and obvious demand for
licences. Applicants in <st1:place w:st="on">SE England</st1:place> - where
demand is very high - have to wait for a totally impractical 3 years before
they know if they even have a chance.<br>
2 - We should strongly contest Ofcom's assertion about there being no available
FM frequencies in a large number of areas. Those of us on the ground that deal
with this problem contuinually know that it is simply not true and is
indicative of Ofcom neither having the manpower nor the motivation from above
to change the suituation. It is far from irrelevant that hundreds of illegal
broadcasters are not taken out of operation because they are not actively interfering
with licensed operators and are hence occupying a channel usable by a new
broadcaster.<br>
3 - We should capitalise on the reported statement of Ofcom's Head of
Broadcast Licensing and make it very clear to him that while his words
are welcome, he needs to back them up with an immediate and very
substantial funding scheme for existing and incoming broadcasters who are all
struggling and are seen to be falling in number month by month.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

> <br>
> Ofcom has today opened the door to a fresh intake of applications for<br>
> community radio licences. This comes in response to significant<br>
> interest expressed by more than 270 individuals and community groups<br>
> wanting to take to the air and provide services for their local<br>
> community.<br>
> <br>
> Community radio stations typically cover a small geographical area<br>
> with a coverage radius of up to 5km and are run on a not-for-profit<br>
> basis. They reflect a diverse mix of cultures and interests. For<br>
> example, you can listen to stations which cater for urban or<br>
> experimental music, while others are aimed at younger people,<br>
> religious communities or the Armed Forces and their families.<br>
> <br>
> This is the third wave of licensing since the first community radio<br>
> station took to the airwaves in 2005. Since then, a new community<br>
> radio station has launched, on average, every 10 days. To date, 228<br>
> community radio licences have been issued and around 11 million people<br>
> are now able to tune into community radio stations across the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>. This<br>
> figure is up 17% year-on-year and an increase of more than a third<br>
> (36%) since 2008.<br>
> <br>
> Ofcom Director of Radio Content and Broadcast Licensing, Peter Davies,<br>
> said: “Over the past six years community radio stations have
provided<br>
> a voice for hundreds of local communities across the <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>. Our postbag<br>
> has been inundated with a high level of interest for new licences,<br>
> which gives a strong indication of the likely level of demand in this<br>
> licensing round.”<br>
> <br>
> Applications process<br>
> ++++++++++++++++<br>
> Applications for new licences will open on a region by region basis,<br>

and south west <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
There are seven<br>
> regions in total. <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region>
is second in the process, with applications<br>
> opening before the end of 2011. This will be followed by Northern<br>
> <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ireland</st1:place></st1:country-region>
in the first half of 2012 and then four English regions – one<br>

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region><br>

> Recent Ofcom research reveals that these stations are highly valued by<br>
> listeners, offering unique benefits that cannot be delivered through<br>
> other media. According to listeners, being informed and keeping<br>
> up-to-date is one of the most useful things about small scale local<br>
> radio stations. They are the preferred source for local information,<br>
> with 8 out of 10 listeners tuning into their local radio station first<br>
> before any other media to find out what is going on in their local<br>
