everyone. Obviously, by its nature community radio takes more risks. Capital
will only play around 140 different tracks at any one time and it those are
picked very carefully indeed by their music team. Community stations will play

and these can only be added by a single person&#8230; or presenters can add
tracks but won't be released for automation until they've listened to and
approved. Presenter contracts emphasising their compliance role may also be a
useful check. You may of course be of the view that the important part of what
you do as a station is what the presenters say and where they come from &#8211;
not the music they play &#8211; and so a locked-down schedule of music is not
only useful but sometimes desirable. As you will note that the live swearing on

experience before we setup six years ago, but we had lots of community
development experience. &nbsp;We setup primarily to do community development.
&nbsp;In that context, we're not going to be negligent and we're not going to
ignore what we have signed up to do.&nbsp;But we are going to be realistic
about what volunteers can be expected to do, and what they can achieve and
deliver in the absence of full-time hands-on management. &nbsp;From the
conversations I've had, people from the more commercial and possibly top down
model really struggle with this approach. &nbsp;But it works for us, it works
for our community, and from what Ofcom have said having monitored our output,
it works for them as well.<u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

regulatory system which relies upon stations having fully resourced staff and
management teams presents extra challenges for volunteer run stations such as
ours. &nbsp; If, at the meeting in October, Ofcom seem inclined to move towards
increased regulation or expectations, I would ask that the Jaqui and the CMA
