In terms of a potential Licence terms breach - we always advise that Ofcom is formally notified as soon as anything untoward happens -&nbsp;and then they can respond to any&nbsp;complainant that they are aware of the problem.<br>
The volunteer situation is far more complex and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.<br>
Management is the key - closely aligned with good commercial practice and sound&nbsp;financial common-sense.<br>
We see far too many potentially good CR stations where the volunteer (awful word) aspect effectively manages the station - and a camel/committee situation is the result.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Like many of us, I was saddened to hear the announcement that two community radio stations switch off their transmitters this week. This is a tragedy for the residents of both Spalding
 and Cheddar, who have lost vital opportunities to have their voices heard, and experience the joy of community radio as both participants and listeners.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 time a station is in trouble.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 handle the next steps can make a huge difference. If you find yourself in this situation, phone the CMA office straight away, or email Bill and ask his advice. He has helped many licensed stations through these kind of problems..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 effects, even if they are not still around to broadcast about it. I wish all their staff, directors and volunteers well with whatever they do next.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
