a statement below in response to yesterday's news that Ofcom intends to

<br>
\\<br>
<br>
Whilst it is of significant concern that 53 community radio stations are to be
investigated by Ofcom to determine if those stations have breached their key
commitments, it is important to note that such an investigation does not imply
that the broadcaster is automatically in breach. Not all investigations result
in breaches of the licence or other regulatory requirements being recorded.<br>
<br>
The Community Media Association (CMA) cannot comment on the details of any
individual station in public as we would not wish to prejudice or otherwise
pre-empt the outcome of any investigation. However a community radio station

CMA members report that Ofcom is usually sympathetic to the issues that
stations face when working to address potential shortfalls in their Annual
Report. Previously the Community Radio Team has assisted stations to more
accurately redraft their key commitments where targets may have been
over-estimated, and the CMA expects that Ofcom will continue to support the
sector in this regard. The CMA fully supports the role of Ofcom as the
regulator in ensuring that social gain, as defined in the Community Radio Order
2004, remains at the core of community radio broadcasting.<br>
<br>
In spite of an unprecedented adverse economic situation community radio
continues to do an outstanding job in delivering social gain outcomes with
minimal central funding - and any issues with compliance reporting should be
understood within that context.<br>
<br>
Community radio stations are working with very few resources to hand and no
formal training on completing the Annual Report. The CMA calls for the
Community Radio Fund to be enhanced in order to make funding available to
support the education of community radio stations around compliance issues and
best practice.<br>
<br>
Ofcom&#8217;s Communications Market Report 2014 advises that over the past five
years, the average income for community radio has fallen from £84,000 to
£55,500 per year. This represents a 33.9% decline over the period. Median
income (the value at the mid-point in the distribution of incomes) now stands
at £33,250 per year, a decline of 5.6% in the last year.<br>
<br>
However over a full broadcast week of 168 hours, a typical community radio
station broadcasts live for 78 hours, with an average 90 hours per week of
originally-produced output. Speech output averages 30% of daytime output and
the average station works with 82 volunteers.<br>

what extraordinary levels of social impact are achieved in our sector so we
