Circular 36/07
Community Radio Stations’ Licence Renewal
The Authority has received representations from one of its community radio licencees to the effect that a station manager who was operating the licencees’ radio station, upon renewal, transferred the licence upon himself without the approval of the previous licence holder and without having informed beforehand the Authority of such transfer.
Hence the Authority is directing all community radio licencees, on renewal, to indicate by means of a letter to be signed by the President, Secretary, Treasury or other Officer of a club or organisation holding a community radio licence that the club or organisation which is the Authority’s licensee is still interested in having its community radio licence renewed. In this way the Authority can ascertain that the licence holder will continue to operate a broadcasting station in terms of law.
This circular does not refer to those community radio licencees who are a company or an individual.
