For ours (Scotland was more recent than Martin!!), it was a good
while before any decisions were announced. Then they came in small
tranches, so if Ofcom announce a few from your part of the world, it
doesn't mean that you haven't been successful, just that you have to
wait longer. For us, that was a year long wait.....<br>
<br>
Then, finally, we got a letter which was also emailed to us and
shortly after, the official announcement was made.<br>
<br>
We then had 2 years to get on-air so we didn't know our actual
frequency until a lot of the technical stuff had been dealt with -
for us about 15mths into the 2yr period.<br>
<br>
We had been working on our application since 2010 and in detail
since early 2011. The application window was late 2011/early 2012.
We applied towards the end of our application window in January 2012
(where you are at now). We were awarded our licence in Jan 2013 and
went live in Oct 2014.<br>
<br>
To our surprise, having detailed the technical details in our
application, our award letter said that the first thing to do was to
write to Ofcom engineering and give them the technical details.<br>
<br>
There are those who will write screeds repeatedly railing about
things like this. Don't waste your breath, just do it.<br>
<br>
Ofcom don't make the rules, they are the regulator. The individuals
there were extremely approachable, friendly and helpful with us,
despite all my "daft laddie" questions! The bureaucracy has a system
- just follow it.<br>
<br>
The CMA & its members will likewise bend over backwards to help
- we have had detailed direct conversations with the CMA &
several CR stations which helped enormously for which KCR is
extremely grateful.<br>
<br>
All the very best!!!!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

<p>Hi, We have applied for the Community Radio License for East
Anglia, Fingers crossed!<br>
<br>
Anyway. Does anyone know what happens with regards to finding
out. Do they discuss it with you first? Or just release a press
release and let you know at the same time? </p>
