Community Radio: An Open Letter To Gordon Brown

Update Sept 2009

Community Radio is a great success. Around 150 services are on air, involving over 10,000 volunteers, including our own wonderful
Sheffield Live
and Burngreave Community Radio.

But success could turn to failure with falling Government support, according to stations and their supporters. Read the details on www.sheffieldlive.org/lettertogordonbrown/

Update:

Following the appeal letter, the Government will seek additional funds to support community radio, according to SiƓn Simon MP, Minister for Creative Industries. The request is only for a modest amount to cover some core cost.
