Revocation of Fenland licence and extension to licensed area of Cambridge licence

Ofcom today announces an extension of coverage to Star Radio (Cambridge) to include the adjoining locality of Ely, by means of a relay transmitter.

The Broadcasting Act 1990 (as amended) allows Ofcom to vary local commercial radio licences in this way, providing such a variation “would not result in a significant increase in the area or locality for which the service in question is licensed to be provided”.

The revised coverage map for Star Radio can be found via the following link:

The transmitter which will provide coverage of Ely is currently part of the local commercial radio licence for the Fenland area of Cambridgeshire.  This licence will be revoked with effect from 1 August 2008, at the licensee's request.  Ofcom has no plans for the time being to advertise a new local commercial radio licence for this area.
