The Communications Act was passed in July of this year, which gives
'not for profit' community broadcasters access to the airwaves
alongside the BBC and commercial operators.
Community radio is an effective medium for creative programming,
minority languages, local information and discussion, and community
development.
Community radio is cost effective and can bring people together as
producers, but how do you deliver content which is good enough
to compete for listeners, and keep them listening?
This event will highlight some exciting broadcasting projects which
show different approaches to community radio, community participation
and audience development.
The presentations:
Professor Anthony Everitt - community radio and cultural development
Javed Sattar - 'giving a voice' to the Asian community
Ed Baxter - contemporary music radio and radio art
John Harding - community radio from a local authority perspective
Bolt Radio Project - radio by and for young people
