Local radio costs thousands, and you need the advertisers to pay these fee's.

i say again NOT local radio but COMMUNITY radio, two very different animals
the latter is very successful in other areas and uses radio to benefit communities by providing workshops and skills training to the disadvantaged in the community. funding can be sourced based on the principals of the station and the fact that it is a community organisation.
as i said rossendale radio is the closest to us but there is also one in pendle,preston and several in manchester including the VERY successful all fm and radio regen.
radio is used as a tool to promote community engagement and can help young people,disabled people,elderly,vulnerable and the unemployed to better themselves and help the community as a whole.
so i don't believe it to be a waste of time but a potentially valuable community resource for the borough and it's residents. and advertising is out of the question as it is a none profit making organisation. I am merely trying to find out if you as members of the community would be interested in having this as a resource or getting involved with such a project
