<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>In 2003 the pilot 'Access Radio' scheme was the subject of an
independent evaluation by Professor Anthony Everitt which formed the basis for
present legislation. Everitt proposed a mixed funding mechanism for community
radio that would assure its sustainability whilst limiting direct competition
with the commercial radio sector.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>A central element of Everitt’s proposals was a funding mechanism that
would provide around £30,000 per annum (£42,500 at 2015 prices) per station
towards core operating costs such as the employment of a station manager. The
Secretary of State, Tessa Jowell, said at the time, in a letter to key
stakeholders: “I have now considered Anthony Everitt’s evaluation of the access
radio experiment and believe that it provides a sound basis for taking the work
on access radio to the next level”. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>At the same time, the Government’s own Regulatory Impact Assessment
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>

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>

journalists in private local commercial newspapers at a cost of around £8m per

mechanism to fund public service content and local news carried by community
