OFCOM AWARDS SIX NEW COMMUNITY RADIO LICENCES

Ofcom today announced the award of six new Community Radio licences in
Inverness, Isle of Bute, North and South Queensferry, Dumfries, Bangor 
(Northern Ireland) and Enniskillen.  This brings the total number of 
Community Radio licences awarded to 128.

The new community radio licensees in each of these areas are:

NESS FM (Inverness)
Ness FM will provide Inverness with a local voice and a platform for
local culture and the arts. Access to the station will be open to local
residents, and programming will be governed largely by local market
research to reflect the unique nature of the Highland Capital.

BUTE FM (Isle of Bute)
Bute FM will provide a community-focussed station devoted to the people
of Bute. It will include a varied mix of music styles and genres
together with local news and views, up-to-the minute travel information
and other items of local interest.

JUBILEE FM (North and South Queensferry)
Jubilee FM will serve the community of North and South Queensferry, twin
towns on either side of the River Forth. The service will offer local
news, local views, music and entertainment.

ALIVE RADIO (Dumfries)
Alive Radio will provide a community service with a Christian ethos for
the Dumfries area.

STAR FM (Bangor, Northern Ireland)
Star FM will broadcast a service reflecting the area's rich local
heritage and arts activities. The provision of training opportunities
will be central to the ethos of the station and programming will include
a diverse range of music and speech-based output.

VIBE FM (Enniskillen)
Vibe FM will provide a service for the Enniskillen area, focusing on the
interests and needs of young people. The station will provide media
training, and broadcast programming relevant to the local community
including a diverse range of music genres and participatory speech-based
output.

The CMA congratulates all the new licensees on this important achievement.
