[creative-radio] Community Radio Fund of Canada - Call For Applications

CRFC Launches Call For Applications Wednesday, 10 February 2010 11:11

CRFC to once again provide funding to campus and community radio

*Ottawa* - The Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) is pleased to launch
its second call for applications for Canada's campus and community radio
sector.

Contributions are available to the sector under two programs: the Radio
Talent Development
Program<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27&lang=en>and
the Youth
Internship Program<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&Itemid=27&lang=en>.
The goal of both programs is to develop innovative local interest
programming while providing mentorship, education, and or training for
broadcasters.

The deadline for each program is *March 19, 2010*. There is $80,000
available under each program, with a maximum $10,000 for each applicant. The
applications will be assessed in April by an independent jury. The final
results will be announced in mid-May. Guidelines and
forms<http://www.communityradiofund.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30&Itemid=60&lang=en>are
available on the CRFC's website.

"The CRFC had a highly successful first year in running these two programs,"
says CRFC President Ian Pringle. "Last year we gave out nearly $160,000 to
the sector. The initiatives we funded were as diverse as the stations
themselves, but in all cases, the end result was that we helped the stations
better serve their communities."

Both of these programs are made possible by a financial partnership with
Astral Media Radio through a CRTC contribution mechanism totalling $1.4
million over seven years. "We appreciate this partnership with Astral Media.
The CRFC looks forward to working with other partners to help build a
stronger community media sector in Canada," says Pringle. As the CRFC is
certified as an eligible recipient of Canadian content development (CCD)
contributions, it is open to work with all of Canada's private broadcasters.

For details on eligibility, the programs, and how to apply please visit our

[creative-radio] Zimbabwe: Radio Dialogue losing patience over licence delays

 

RT @mediamentor: #Radio Dialogue losing patience with GNU over licence
delays | The #Zimbabwe Situation

http://ow.ly/14UzO

A Bulawayo based community radio initiative, Radio Dialogue has released a
press statement saying it is losing patience with government over its
failure to provide a broadcasting licence.

Speaking at a press conference held after the handover of the Radio
Dialogue constitutional report activities to the parliamentary select
committee(COPAC) on Saturday at Bulawayo Rainbow hotel, chairperson of the
Radio Dialogue Trust, Peter Zwide Khumalo said the inclusive government
has failed to liberate the media.

Khumalo said failure to provide radio licences is testimony that the
government cannot fulfill the Global Political Agreement.

"For five years now Radio Dialogue has been meeting with government on the
issue of community radio licensing," Khumalo told the conference, "The GPA
brought great hope that, at last, licences would be issued. For sixteen
months now the people of Bulawayo have been waiting the Inclusive
Government to fulfil its promises. But this has been in vain."

Khumalo was reiterating the words of the executive director of Radio
Dialogue Nigel Johnson who said the GPA is not working.

"Article 19 makes it clear that all licences , all applications will be
processed immediately," Johnson said, "This was signed by Robert Mugabe,
Morgan Tsvangirai and Arthur Mutambara. They all signed that they will
process applications immediately but it hasn't happened."

Khumalo also criticised the ministry of media, information and publicity
for its failure to constitute a legitimate broadcasting authority.He said
the ministry is in a state of confusion.

"The Minister unilaterally appointed members to BAZ," he said, "These
appointments were immediately rejected by the Deputy Minister and
subsequently by the Prime Minister."

[creative-radio] Western Australia's oldest Indigenous Radio Station faces an uncertain future

 

6WR Waringarri Radio 693AM - The Voice of the East Kimberley, Western
Australia http://ow.ly/14UkU

Waringarri Radio 6WR broadcasts the latest music, news, weather and
community information over a 300km radius in the remote East Kimberley
region of Far North Western Australia. Our powerful coverage includes
Kununurra, Wyndham, Warmun, Oombulgurri, El Questro, Argyle Mine and
Timber Creek.

RT @Northern_Clips: 6WR Waringarri Radio oldest #Aboriginal-owned
community #radio station http://ow.ly/14UgO in Western #Australia

[excerpt]

The Voice of the East Kimberley now faces an uncertain future.

A lightning storm recently knocked out one of the four modules on the
5-kilowatt transmitter of Kununurra's 6WR Waringarri Radio in Western
Australia's northern Kimberley region.

But it didn't faze the station's manager Colin Cameron, a jack of all
trades in the radio business, who walked the 500m down the road to fix it
himself.

The storm was not enough to take "The Voice of the East Kimberley",
Western Australia's oldest indigenous radio station, off the air. But it
brought back memories for Mr Cameron, 73, of when the station's board had
called him in February 2002 when lighting had taken out the transmitter
completely and 6WR had been off the air for 47 days.

Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.

The veteran radio broadcaster, manager and station owner quickly got the
station up and running again and the board soon asked him if he would like
to stay permanently.

"The station was in survival mode when I arrived, it needed tender loving
care," Mr Cameron said. More than eight years later and with the help of
dedicated presenters and local volunteers, 6WR continues to broadcast to
towns and remote communities in a 300km radius around Kununurra, including
Oombulgurri to the northwest, El Questro station to the south, and over
the border to Timber Creek in the Northern Territory.

There are also FM translators at the Argyle mine, Wyndham, Warmun and
Kalumburu.

Established in 1987, 6WR was the first Aboriginal-owned community radio
station in the Kimberley and continues to be the only station with its
studios and administration in Kununurra.

About

<http://photo365.commedia.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/cmaboxlogo_purple.jpg>

The Community Media Association (CMA) <http://www.commedia.org.uk/> has
started this photo blog for 2010 but we need your help. We would like you
to send us photos of your community project that we will publish on
"Community Media 365″. Every day in 2010 we will post to this blog an image
relating to community media so that over the course of 2010 together we will
build a rich visual picture of the community media sector.

All images are welcome – whether it's a picture of the stapler on your desk
or a visit to your project by a campaigning politician; a photo of your
staff team or the view from your window. Obviously the more photos we can
get from you the better chance we have of this project succeeding. The CMA
will also post the odd picture up so you will get a chance to see some of us
at work.

Please send your photos to: *photo365@commedia.org.uk*

We can handle all digital photo file formats but sending jpegs will mean
less work for us to convert them. We can also scale down pictures so hi-res
photos are fine. When sending photos from a mobile phone try to set the
highest resolution possible. Please ensure that all photos are suitable for
publishing on the web in terms of rights clearance and privacy.

We will continue to make calls throughout the year for photos so just keep
them coming. We hope to feature as wide a spread of your projects as
possible but the more good photos that you send us the better the chances
are of your organisation featuring several times.

So please start immediately and send your photos now to: *
photo365@commedia.org.uk*

Community Media Association of the UK - A photo blog "year in the life of community media" for 2010

RT @mediamentor: Community Media Association 365 http://ow.ly/14TMX 2010 – a photo blog year in the life of community media - About http://ow.ly/14TOy

About

The Community Media Association (CMA) has started this photo blog for 2010 but we need your help.  We would like you to send us photos of your community project that we will publish on "Community Media 365″.  Every day in 2010 we will post to this blog an image relating to community media so that over the course of 2010 together we will build a rich visual picture of the community media sector.

All images are welcome – whether it's a picture of the stapler on your desk or a visit to your project by a campaigning politician; a photo of your staff team or the view from your window.  Obviously the more photos we can get from you the better chance we have of this project succeeding.  The CMA will also post the odd picture up so you will get a chance to see some of us at work.

Please send your photos to: photo365@commedia.org.uk

We can handle all digital photo file formats but sending jpegs will mean less work for us to convert them.  We can also scale down pictures so hi-res photos are fine.  When sending photos from a mobile phone try to set the highest resolution possible.  Please ensure that all photos are suitable for publishing on the web in terms of rights clearance and privacy.

We will continue to make calls throughout the year for photos so just keep them coming.  We hope to feature as wide a spread of your projects as possible but the more good photos that you send us the better the chances are of your organisation featuring several times.

So please start immediately and send your photos now to: photo365@commedia.org.uk
