[creative-radio] UK: Ofcom publishes Community Radio Report 2010-11

 

---Apologies for cross-posting---

Source:
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/radio/community/annual-reports/10-11/

Full report at:
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/broadcast/radio-ops/CR-AR-10-11.pdf

*Executive summary*

1.1 Community radio stations are not-for-profit radio services designed
to operate on a small scale and to deliver community benefits, known as
'social gain'. The legislation enabling community radio services to be
licensed was introduced in 2004 and amended in January 2010. The first
community radio station launched in November 2005. This is Ofcom's
fourth annual report on the community radio sector.

1.2 Ofcom has to date licensed 231 stations over three rounds of
licensing. 196 of these are broadcasting and a further 23 have either
decided not to launch or have handed their licence back, largely due to
funding problems. The remainder are preparing to start broadcasting. The
second round of licensing concluded in August 2010 and a third round of
community radio licensing commenced in April 2011.

1.3 Community radio serves a diverse range of communities. The majority
of stations serve a general audience in either an urban/suburban area
(16%) or a town/rural area (43%). Many services, however, serve smaller
communities of interest. This includes, for example, those aimed at
minority ethnic groups (13%), a youth audience (11%) and those with a
religious focus (6%). Of the licences awarded, 187 are in England, 14 in
Northern Ireland, 20 in Scotland and 10 in Wales.

1.4 The legislation governing community radio sets out the
characteristics of community radio services and defines social gain.
Each station has a set of 'key commitments', which forms part of its
licence and sets out how it will meet these characteristics and deliver
social gain. The key commitments includes how a station will make itself
accountable to its target community and ensure access, its programming
aims and its commitments with regard to training and other social gain
objectives.

1.5 The legislation also requires that Ofcom sets licence conditions
limiting the amount of income that individual stations can generate from
on-air advertising and sponsorship. For the majority of stations this
limit is 50%. However, two stations have lower limits (25% and 10%) and
a further 18 stations cannot take income from on-air advertising and
sponsorship at all. These additional restrictions have been put in place
to protect existing small commercial services whose coverage areas
overlap with the community services.

1.6 Each station that has been broadcasting for more than a year is
required to complete an annual report. The reports detail how each
station has performed against its key commitments and identifies its
sources of income and expenditure. The financial aspect of the reporting
enables Ofcom to check whether the station has stayed within the
legislative restrictions on funding.

1.7 For the period April 2010 to March 2011 Ofcom received key
commitments annual reports from 163 stations and financial annual
reports from 161 stations. One station was excused from providing a
financial report and one station did not provide its financial report in
time to be included in this report. Another station did not submit
either its key commitments or financial reports.

1.8 Annual reports were not required from stations that launched during
this period or subsequently and are therefore not included in this report.

1.9 In 2010/11 the average (mean) station's income was around £63,000.
The median figure, the mid-point in the distribution of stations'
income, was considerably lower at £42,000. This is because a small
number of stations are earning significantly more than the majority.

1.10 The total reported income of the four highest earning stations,
each reporting over £250,000 income for the relevant period and earning
a total of just over £1.5m, equates roughly to the total income of the
74 lowest income stations. If we exclude the four highest earning
stations' income then the average income drops to £54,500. The median
figure remains relatively similar at £41,000.

1.11 Stations targeting a community of interest (rather than a
geographic community) reported a higher income than the sector average.
Stations serving a general audience in an urban area reported a higher
average income than town/rural stations (£89,500 as opposed to £45,000).

1.12 The average (mean) sector income is down by around 19% on the
previous year's reported figure. In the 2009/10 period income had
dropped by around 6% compared to the period prior to this. The median
income for the current reporting period has dropped by 7% compared to
the 2009/10 period.

1.13 Trend analysis undertaken on the stations which have reported in
each of the last two years (i.e. 2009/10 and 2010/11) indicates that the
average (mean) income for these stations has dropped by only 0.05%
(£70,500 in 2010/11 compared to £74,500 in 2009/10 for the same group of
stations). This may indicate that the financial situation for those
stations that have submitted annual reports for the last two financial
periods has remained relatively stable.

1.14 When compared to previous years, the proportion of income from
specified sources appears relatively similar. The most significant type
of income for the sector is grant funding, which accounts for 37% of the
total. Income from on-air advertising or sponsorship accounted for
around 21% of total income across the sector. 23% of stations submitting
financial returns did not take income from advertising and sponsorship
in this reporting period. Of these 37 stations, 25 chose not to take
this type of income as a matter of choice or policy. The remaining 12
stations were prohibited under their licence from doing so.

1.15 Public sources of funding accounted for 25% of the total sector
income. Local authorities accounted for around 13% of the sector's total
income. 8% of income came from other public bodies such as the Arts
Council, health providers, educational establishments and various
national lottery award schemes.

1.16 The Community Radio Fund, which is administered by Ofcom on behalf
of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, accounted for £321,500
(around 3% of the sector's total reported income). The Community Radio
Fund continues to be the largest single source of income for the sector.

1.17 Community radio stations, on average, are spending slightly more
than their income. Stations cost, on average, around £64,500 to run.
This has declined by 13% compared to the previous reporting period. The
median expenditure for this reporting period has dropped to £40,000
compared to £52,000 the 2009/10 period.

1.18 Trend analysis undertaken on the stations which have reported in
each of the last two years (i.e. 2009/10 and 2010/11) indicates that the
average (mean) expenditure for these stations has dropped by only 0.03%
(£72,000 in 2010/11 compared to £74,500 in 2009/10 for the same group of
stations). This analysis gives some insight into how those stations
reporting for two full financial periods have fared year-on-year.

1.19 The highest cost for community radio stations remains staff
expenditure, which accounted for around 50% of stations' costs. Premises
and technical costs, as in previous years, accounted for the next most
significant outlay.

1.20 Around 44% of stations that returned a financial annual report were
in deficit. Of these 71 stations in deficit, 24% (39 stations) reported
this to be in excess of £10,000 (the highest was £90,000). At the other
end of the scale, one station had a surplus of £75,000. In most cases,
large deficits are being funded by parent organisations; any surpluses
are typically invested in the operation of the service.

1.21 Community radio stations broadcast live for around 82 hours per
week on average, and, in general, broadcast a further 12 hours per week
of original pre-recorded material. On average around 32% of daytime
output is speech which can feature a wide range of local organisations
and community initiatives.

1.22 Some stations focus on particular genres of music, while those
serving a geographic audience generally broadcast more mainstream music
during daytime programming, moving to specialist output in the evening.

1.23 The average station reports the involvement of around 78 volunteers
annually, although there is a wide variation. Together these volunteers
give on average of around 295 hours a week of their time in total. Time
given by volunteers can vary considerably from an hour or two to over
1,000 hours per week.

1.24 At a cost of just over £10 million pounds, based on the reports
received from stations in this reporting period, community radio in the
UK delivered:
A total of more than 12,500 volunteering opportunities
Over 45,000 volunteer hours each week
Over 15,000 hours of original radio output each week
Output broadcast in a wide range of community languages

1.25 There are now over 190 stations broadcasting and Ofcom estimates
that volunteers contribute close to 250,000 hours a month to community
radio.

1.26 Given that the community radio sector is now relatively mature,
Ofcom does not intend to publish an annual report of this type for
2011/12. However, all relevant stations will still be required to submit
an annual report as part of their demonstration of compliance with
licence and other statutory requirements.

[creative-radio] Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing in Köln – Less than 10 refugees participated

 

Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing in Köln – Less than 10 refugees
participated

About 20 Activists assembled on Tuesday 22.11.11 at 8am to protest the
Nigerian Embassy deportation hearing taking place at the Central
Foreigners Office, Am Blaubach 13, Köln.

The Central Foreigners Office (Z.A.B) Köln is one amongst notable
institutions that facilitate the traumatisation of refugees through abuses
in the likes of country embassy identification of the Victims for
deportation.

This protest is in line with "The VOICE Refugee Forum" commitment to
expose the deportations and the corrupt collaboration of refugee countries
with the German deportation authorities where the Nigerian embassy is
playing the leading role.

With active support from Activists of "Autonomy Zentrum" and other persons
and groups in Köln, an intention to begin with a community breakfast was
interrupted as the Police in suspicion approached the gathering to
question our agenda.
The police tried their usual threat of penalty and telephone parade but
the Activists expressed their determination of of no fear as they
themselves were informed of the legal basis of such actions.

In a bid to avoid unnecessary distraction as the Police would like it, the
activists unanimously agreed on a spontaneous registration but the
responsible Officials still went further to petition the availability of
Banner at the Venue.

Amongst 22 refugees invited for that day, less than 10 refugees within
Bayern and Rheinland Pfalz appeared for the exercise.

Participating refugees were informed on the basis of the invitation to the
hearing and advised on possibilities to save themselves from deportation.

We hereby call on Refugees and Activists to support the planned protest
action at the Nigerian Embassy premises for its leading role in country
embassy deportation collaboration.

The Nigerian Embassy is known for its monthly mobile deportation hearing
in different German Cities and we are committed to protest their presence
at any possible hearing.

The preparatory meeting for the Berlin Action is expected to take place in
Stuttgart on a date that is yet to be decided.

Refugee support groups should endeavour to mobilise refugees in their
region for this action as the fight against one deportation affects all.

The Colonial Collaboration of the Nigerian Embassy with the German State!

[creative-radio] IF COMMUNITY MEDIA IS THE ANSWER, WHAT IS THE QUESTION?

International Community Media Conference - University of Ibadan, Nigeria -

IF COMMUNITY MEDIA IS THE ANSWER, WHAT IS THE QUESTION?

The Department of Communication and Language Arts, University of Ibadan, >
Nigeria; the Institute for Media and Society (IMS), Lagos, Nigeria; the
African Languages Technology Initiative (ALT-I), Ibadan, Nigeria; and the
Nigerian Community Radio Coalition jointly invite you to an international
conference to commemorate the 75th Birthday Anniversary of Prof Alfred
Opubor, first Nigerian professor of Mass Communication.

THEME: IF COMMUNITY MEDIA IS THE ANSWER, WHAT IS THE QUESTION?² Those were
the words of the first Nigerian Professor of Mass Communication,

Professor Alfred Opubor, and the title of one of his most discussed
articles Though that question was raised in 2000 in a book published by
UNESCO, the issues that gave rise to it are still as urgent and improperly
understood as they were then. The recent political events in the MENA
(Middle East and North Africa) region, the recent historic
civilian-to-civilian transition in Zambia, the seemingly unending failure
of the big media to significantly bring about participation and access; the
recourse to neoliberal policies by African Œdemocracies¹ and the impact of
that on the big media; are some of the issues that necessitate a thorough
re-examination of that decade-old witticism. If community media is the
answer, what indeed is the question? And how is it being answered? Are
there more questions than there were? What are they?

SUB-THEMES: Paper abstracts and proposals for project demonstrations are
welcome on the following subthemes:

> · Community Media and new media technologies
> · Community media, policy and regulation
> · Community media, social media and social protest
> · Community media and empowerment/development: actual stories and
potentials
> · Community media and the management of conflict
> · Community media, community/civic engagement and democracy
> · Research approaches in (and to) community media
> · Community media and gender
> · Community media and popular culture
> · Community media and diasporas

DATE: 27-29 March, 2012

> VENUE: Conference Centre, University of Ibadan, Nigeria

> TIMELINES:

> Deadline for submission of abstracts = Nov 30, 2011

> Notification of writers of successful abstracts = Dec 20, 2011

> Deadline for submission of full paper = Feb 20, 2012

FEES: heavily subsidised to cover conference materials, lunches and teas.

Academics: N5,000

International participants: $50

Graduate Students: N1,500

Undergraduate Students: Free

Abstracts or proposals for project demonstration should not exceed 300
words. Abstracts should be sent to both: opuborconference@yahoo.com and

[creative-radio] Radio job opening here in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

 

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Nan Rubin <nanrubin@aol.com>
Date: 13 November 2011 10:58
Subject: [Stubblefield] job opening here in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
To: WBAIProducers@yahoogroups.com, grc@peak.org,
stubblefield@prometheusradio.org

Hello,

I'm back with another job opening here in Kandahar, Afghanistan.

I work with a USAID implementing partner on an agricultural stabilization
project in southern Afghanistan. We are in negotiations with the U.S.
military to transfer ownership of an army-run FM radio station to the
Afghan government, specifically the Directorate of Agriculture, Irrigation
and Livestock (DAIL). I'm looking for someone who can come over for 4-6
months and help us transfer assets from the army to DAIL, train Afghan
staff, come up with a preliminary Pashto program schedule and get this
thing back up and running. In addition, the army is handing over a number
of radios in a box (RIABs) and we want to put these out in district DAIL
offices and train these guys as well.

I will soon be posting the formal Scope of Work, but that's it in a
nutshell. You would live in a secure compound in downtown Kandahar, with
some travel to military bases as needed. Looking for someone with
experience commensurate to the task, especially those who've done this sort
of thing abroad. Pay based on experience, with plenty of premiums given
the kinetic environment.

Now let me be frank in saying that Kandahar has gotten very frisky of
late. Coordinated attacks are becoming more frequent and more violent.
Our compound was hit by a suicide bomber just last week. No one was hurt,
thanks to the ineptness of the attackers. But be advised that the job
carries inherent risks.
http://tribune.com.pk/story/285466/suicide-bombers-hit-us-charity-in-kandahar/

So if you have the experience and are not deterred by the above, do send me
your CV. This position will be filled around the first of the year.

All best,
Will Everett
