<div>I again draw your attention to Ofcom's consultation "Community radio: future licensing and technical policy" published on 28th October 2016:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px">
<div>
<div>1.4 We anticipate that our current (third) round of licensing will draw to a close in late spring 2017, and that licensing of small-scale DAB services may not commence before 2018. In the interim, we propose to license more analogue services, as well as consider
coverage improvements for existing services. </div>

<div>We will be asking for further clarification of Ofcom's deadline and insisting that Ofcom publishes its response to the technical consultation that Sharon White indicated would be delivered by the end of April.</div>
