stated: “One possibility being considered is the creation by Government of an
access radio fund to support the establishment and running of access radio stations.
If it is decided to proceed with such a scheme the amount of Government support
is unlikely to be more than £3 to 4 million per annum.” On 5 March 2004, the
Secretary of State announced an intention to proceed with an initial commitment
to the fund of £500,000 for 2004/05. As we know, the Community Radio Fund has
not kept up with the explosive growth of radio stations in the sector but the
small uplift for 2016/17 is certainly welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Ofcom, in its regular reports on the Community Radio Fund, has shown
that the investment from the Fund has a significant multiplier effect,
increasing the income to stations from other sources. If this evidence is to be
believed, and we have no reason to dispute it, it follows that a reduction in
the Fund would have the opposite effect - that is to say, a diminished CRF
serves to attenuate the capacity of community radio stations to find other
sources of sustainable funding.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

looking at whether a path forward might be to replace the current Community
Radio Fund with an improved mechanism to fund public service content and local

the settlement for local television content producers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Subject: Re: [cma-l] Community Radio Fund & the CMA<br>
<br>
The CMA has no other option than to launch an all out campaign to promote
Community Media locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. If e do
not stand up and fight now our sector will be setback for a decade. We have
mountains of positive outcomes to share and a political opportunity to push
some proactive policies and mechanisms that can support our sector. <br>
I fully support the remarks made by Steve Buckley, we have to open up these
funding streams for our sector and I urge the CMA Board to put together a major
campaign. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
