is doing with money from its allocated funding.<br>
I do resent the insinuation of a mentality associated with my use of the terms
"begging bowl" and "handout" Ron.<br>
Asking for open-ended funding to run an organisation - albeit with specific
good intentions - which is not tied to the value of the product delivered does
I submit certainly fall under those general descriptions.<br>
A centrally-allocated Government subsidy is a different matter.<br>
But an equal cash contribution at whatever level regardless of audience size or

the mathematical distribution model I wonder?<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Calibri'>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>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Calibri'>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>

font-family:Calibri'>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>

CMA is looking at whether a path forward might be to replace the current

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

work with charities, social enterprises and the wider third sector encouraging
those organisations to use community media channels as a platform to create and

PSAs to not only be carried on commercial networks but on community platforms

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>
