Ofcom Update: Radio licensing

Ofcom is today making a number of announcements regarding the re-advertisement of local analogue commercial radio licences. Further details on this process can be found on Ofcom's website at:
 
Eastbourne
Ofcom is inviting declarations of intent to apply for the FM local commercial radio licence for Eastbourne. The licence is currently held by Sovereign Radio, and is due to expire in November 2009. Ofcom proposes to grant a further licence for this area, for a period from the expiry date of the current licence to 31 December 2015. The closing-date for the receipt of declarations of intent from prospective licence applicants is 3.00pm on Monday 4 August 2008.

Southport
Ofcom has received one declaration of intent for the Southport local commercial radio licence from the current licensee, Dune FM Limited.  Ofcom is therefore inviting the incumbent licensee to reapply for the licence under the 'fast-track' procedure as set out in Ofcom's guidelines.
 
Canterbury, Dover/Folkestone
Ofcom is also today announcing that it has re-awarded the local FM commercial radio licences for the Canterbury and Dover/Folkestone areas to the current licensees, KMFM Canterbury Limited and KMFM Folkestone Limited respectively. These licences have been re-awarded under Ofcom's 'fast-track' process, as set out in published guidelines, and both will be for a period from their current expiry date to 31 December 2015.
