First community radio station to close
23 November, 2009
http://www.broadcas
A lack of money looks set to force the closure of the UK's first full-time
community radio station at the end of the year.
Forest of Dean Radio, which started in 1995, later securing the first
Community Radio licence in 2005, says it will close at midnight on
December 31.
[...]
The closure will follow the failure of similar projects in Liverpool,
Inverness, Chesterfield, Chelmsford, Harlow and London.

Celebrate International Migrants Day and Join the Radio 1812 Event!
Status Update: 24 days to go!
For the fourth year in a row, Radio 1812 will bring together migrant
groups and radios from around the world to celebrate International
Migrants Day on 18th December.
Last year, 175 radio stations produced, broadcasted and shared programmes
on migration, turning the event into a successful opportunity to make
migrants' voices heard across the world.
This year, 70 radio stations from 28 countries already confirmed their
participation (see below). We will be adding the names of the participants
on a special map which you will find on the home page of the Radio 1812
site. http://www.radio181
On the site, you will also find special content which you can
re-broadcast, such as reports on the Global Forum on Migration and
Development in Athens

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, a push began for low
power radio stations to be available during emergencies.
There could be more stations on the radio in the future, but not just to
entertain. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, a push
began for low power radio stations to be available during emergencies.
Newton County Emergency Management Agency director Gary Galloway supports
the Local Community Radio Act that, if it passes the U.S. House and
Senate, would allow hundreds of new licenses to be granted for low power
FM radio stations.
Galloway just returned from Washington, D.C., where he testified before a
Congressional committee about the need for these licenses.
These stations can run off generators or even a car battery during a power
outage. Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, Galloway says a station like
that was a saving grace.
"They couldn't communicate. They didn't have power. Their homes were wiped
off the foundation. These people needed help," said Galloway.
For three months after the storm, Galloway was one of the scores of
emergency responders who helped with the recovery effort on the coast.
"What I liked about low power FM was us that were trying to help them in
emergency services, we had an access to them over the radio and that was
the immediate," said Galloway.
If passed, Galloway says he would also like to see more low power FM
stations be established along storm evacuation routes. He says he's
hopeful that the measure will pass in both chambers of Congress by the end
of this year.

Interesting. First it says 'men' were arrested, but this is later amended to 'teenagers'. They are held, and over 45k stg worth of equipment seized, but an adult, a 25 year old woman, is neither held nor charged. One appreciates that some people in the UK are quite well off, but are we expected to believe that these teenagers had enough independent assets to finance 45k stg worth of hardware?
The equipment is being used to 'relay' broadcast material to a remote transmitter, but the news item does not state the grounds on which the police were led to believe (and could convince the magistrate to issue a warrant) that the transmission was effectively controlled from this address.
Needless to say, it also does not specify which other stations suffered 'interference' as a result of this illegal broadcast.
