Community Radio Order 2025Contribution
Having considered representations from across the sector, we believe that it is necessary to retain an increased restriction on a very small number of community stations that broadcast in areas with smaller markets, where there is an independent local commercial station. However, we are conscious that the restriction has not been reviewed since 2015; as such, the draft order would increase this revenue-raising restriction from £15,000 to £30,000.
