[comradio-l] [cma-l] Community Radio Fund: award of grants for 2010/11 Round 2

[FRANCIS, Carol (Policy & Planning)]

Clive I feel I must disagree, paid staff is a factor as to me this shows weather it's a level playing field for example if a CR station have paid workers they can spend time completing an application against a CR station who only have volunteers who have full time jobs and are not able to spend the same amount of time on an application. I would have thought the aim of the funding should be to get all CR stations to a standard/level where they are all the same with resources which in turn would make it easier for the CMA to promote CR stations special in light of pass debate on the advertising of the 2011 census.

Carol

The CRF Panel made clear about a year ago their priorities were

1	New applicants (i.e. who had not had a grant before)
2	Joint applications on behalf of two or more stations (e.g. sharing a fund-raiser)
3	Applications from stations that have had a grant before

I don't think how many paid staff they have (or do not have) is a factor.

Clive Glover
