stats, the previous round of 28 applicants appears to have
resulted in three lots of three awards over six months. Press
reports indicate that the local tv scene is treated somewhat
differently in respect of reasons for rejection.<br>

Awards in batches.<br>
Usually after the final batch for a given region it will say
that Licences were not awarded to the remaining named
Applicants.
<div>It does not give reasons apart from alleged
non-availability of spectrum - but there is a growing
opinion that it should be required to do so.</div>
<div>Our personal congratulations go to Mike at Secklow, Chris
and Darren at MK and Terry at NNBC - all of whom have asked
previously for our contribution to their projects - and of
course to our old friend from back in Youth FM days, Tony
Gillham at the Black Cat.<br>

</div>
<div>unlikely for ofcom to ever release why a license
was refused but also this doesnt indicate any were
refused, ofcom is releasing some licenses in this
"area" bit by bit.. I think we have already had some
released.</div>

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>

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>
