Redstone FM
denied broadcast licence by Ofcom.
In October
2008, Redstone FM, the community radio station for Redhill, Reigate
& Horley submitted an application to Ofcom for a permanent
broadcast license. After a 20 month wait, we have been advised that
Ofcom are unable to grant us a community radio license giving the
lack of FM frequencies in Greater London as the reason.
The board of
Redstone FM will be meeting to consider the options for the future
although our current training programme will continue unaffected by
the news.
In the
meantime we want to thank all those who have worked on our programmes
and supported our activities over the past 5 years.
Update on Training Courses
The current Broadcast
Opportunities course is coming to an end at the end of July. The
climax for our six students is the opportunity to produce and present
their own radio programmes.
