What services must a Community Radio Station Provide?
A community radio station’s programmes will reflect the needs and interests of its audience. But rather than ‘talk at’ its community, the station should become a central part of it.
This means creating direct links with its listeners, offering training opportunities and making sure that members of the community can take part in how the station is run. Community stations typically provide 90 hours of original and distinctive output a week, mostly locally produced. On average, stations operate with 79 volunteers who together give around 186 hours of their time a week.
