[CMA R] South Yorkshire and the Humber - Community Radio Licensing Round 2

[Phil Gibbons - BCfm]

The order of regions for the second round of licensing surprises me a bit as 
well as annoys me. We in Bristol had to wait Sixteen months for Ofcom to 
make a decision in this part of the country and we were one of the last to 
be announced. Why then is the South West the first in the second round to be 
up for grabs? We will be on air in April, but will not have a fair time to 
secure funding, build up a good on air presence and start to achieve our key 
objectives if Ofcom licence another Community station in Bristol within a 
month or so! Is anybody else in the same situation?
