Community Radio Crisis

Posted July 18th, 2008 by Justin in
Radio Cardiff has become the latest station to cease broadcasting, just 10 months after launching as a community radio station in the Welsh capital.The station is not alone, as less than a month ago, London station TGR was forced to close due to tough financial conditions. Previously, a community radio station in Chelmsford also closed down due to lack of funds. Radio Cardiff began broadcasting with a five year Ofcom licence on October 8th 2007, and featured reggae, soul, jazz, funk and house music. It also provided local news and interviews. The station blames a delay in funding from the Welsh Assembly Government and Cardiff County Council for the closure.
