[comradio-l] Community Radio Order - Commons debate 12/01/10 4:30pm

[CMA-L]

Dear colleagues

The House of Commons Seventh Delegated Legislation Committee meets
today at 4:30pm in Committee Room 11 to consider the draft Community
Radio (Amendment) Order 2010 (http://tinyurl.com/drftcro).  This will
be shown live on Parliament TV:

The CMA and its members have been lobbying hard to call for an
increased Community Radio Fund and to remove the unfair restrictions
preventing advertising in community radio licence areas overlapping
small commercial radio.

We have posted a briefing document online here:

Dare we dream? There is a commemorative "Hope of Progress" photo entry
today on the blog:

Let's hope it happens.
