Hi Would just like to add about Koast. We are going to be based in the Community Centre, however due to the delay in that opening, we will have to wait. Our website has had some hics, however is now being put together. The aim is to start preview streaming mid to end of November. We have been approached by Ultra Radio to join forces, however from the information provided by them, feel that they have nothing to bring to Koast. We wish them well and we will be continuing our own path, with a number of trial broadcasts next year, hopefully leading to an announcement from Offcom of more licences being released, by which time we will be in a position to apply. Community radio is a very expensive business. We have been lucky enough to secure a fair amount of funding so far, and continue to put bids in. Grant bids normally take arounf 4 months to get a response, so its a very slow process. We have the backing on a number of town councils and look forward to working with them in order to make South Northumberland a more cohesive place to live. to give a platform from which the community can have a say and to provide entertaining programming. We take advice and guidance from a number of radio professionals who work or have worked in commericial radio and we want to get it right. There is no point rushing things just to win the "who broadcasts first" prize. We are not about that.... we want things to be right for NOrthumberland. We want to have forged links with the right people and organisations and have an idea of where we are going. If you would like to be involved, please get in touch.
