Three new community radio licences awarded in Northampton
Posted: 24th July 2020
Ofcom has today announced the award of three new community radio licences in Northampton.
Ofcom has given the green light for additional community radio stations in Northampton, after Inspiration FM previously failed to apply for their extension according to Ofcom.
The three community radio licences have been awarded to:
- Inspiration FM, which will serve underrepresented ethnic minority communities in Northampton with the specific aim of promoting social inclusion. The service has held a community radio licence for 10 years.
- Embrace, which is for all members of the community within the Northampton area, with a focus on regular local news.
- Revolution Radio, which will serve the diverse ethnic communities of Northampton, but also intends to appeal to a wider audience to facilitate links with marginalised communities.
The licences are awarded for a five-year period.
