“I am delighted to be working with the Community Media Association on the first Community Radio Licence Application Workshop for groups applying to the second round.  We attended two of the CMA’s Round One workshops in 2004 and I can say with confidence that the advice and support gained from these sessions contributed to the success of our application.  This is an excellent opportunity to learn from seasoned practitioners and meet the people at Ofcom who lead the process.”
 

 

This workshop was aimed at groups applying to Ofcom's second round of Community Radio licensing.   The workshop was put together by the CMA and Ofcom with Bristol Community FM and Forest of Dean Radio.  The workshop was an opportunity to get to grips with the application form and receive specialist advice on completing each section.  Delegates also met the author of the Community Radio application form guidance and receivd expert advice from Licensed Community Radio stations in the South West of England and South Wales.
