Ofcom has announced the award of four new community radio licences, in Northampton, St Neots, Cambridgeshire, and two in Milton Keynes.<br>
<br>
Licences have been awarded to NNBC for a service in Northampton, Black Cat Radio in St Neots, and MKFM and Secklow Sounds in Milton Keynes.<br>
<br>
Community radio services are provided on a not-for-profit basis and focus on delivering specific social benefits to a local area or a community of interest. Over 200 community radio stations are broadcasting in the UK.<br>
