licences from Region 4 – North East England, Cumbria and North Yorkshire:
  Service NameArea  Dales RadioYorkshire Dales  Eden FMPenrith, Cumbria

 Eden FM

Eden FM will serve the people of Penrith and the surrounding villages. The
proposed audience target has a strong local focus aimed at strengthening
community ties in the rural community of Penrith and its surrounding
villages. By having a wide audience target, the proposed programme service
should cater for a broad variety of age groups with particular focus on
local tastes in order to reflect the community interests making it distinct
from existing services. The applicant group is comprised of people with
good experience in broadcasting and local business with some additional
technical skills. It provided good evidence of local demand and support for
the service, as well as existing links with local organisations and events.
 Dales Radio

Dales Radio will serve the towns and villages within the Yorkshire Dales
National Park. The members of the group have extensive experience of
providing a local radio service in the area, and it is proposing a
Dales-focused service which would be live at key times. The service would
be available in areas which do not currently receive any existing local
radio service, and the group provided evidence of demand and support from a
range of local organisations and individuals.
