We’ve just launched a new website designed to give free help and advice to anyone who wants to set-up a Radio Ramadan station on FM.
We thought about it for ages and eventually settled for the name “Radio Ramadan Help”!
http://www.radioramadanhelp.co.uk
It’s a free source of information to help you set-up a totally legal Radio Ramadan station in your area. On this website we introduce you to the basics, suggest a plan of action, and give you a host of resources to help you get started.
Please pass the word on to anyone you know who may be interested. Feedback welcome, but go easy on us!

The Charles Parker Day Conference is a well established event in the national radio conference calendar and is an opportunity to reflect on this innovative producer’s work and examine within a wider contemporary context the philosophy behind his radio work. This year’s conference is supported by the Centre for Research in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sunderland and Prism Sound, the people behind SADiE. This year in the eighth annual Charles Parker Day we celebrate the 50th anniversary `The Big Hewer’ the Radio Ballad about the mining industry and this year we will be holding the conference in a city partly built on the profits of coal – Newcastle- upon-Tyne. …

Local Radio Project Manager Short Listed for a National Award
Project Manager Dave Murat who set up Chorlton Arts Radio in 2010 has been short listed as a local digital hero out of hundreds of entries.
Chorlton Arts Radio is a short term radio project that transmitted online for 2 weeks from an empty shop front in Chorlton Precinct, a suburb of South Manchester.
The project ran as an extra performance space and information point for the Chorlton Arts Festival and was the first time radio had featured in the festival.
Dave Murat says “I’m really excited to be short listed for this award that recognises all of the hard work put in by the volunteers who produced and presented great radio shows over 14 days and gave airtime to 95 live acts, staged 10 live and put over 400 people on air, including a local theatre school and a Girls Islamic High School.
Our website had 10,000 hits over the two week transmission and we used Facebook and Twitter to promote ourselves and the acts appearing. …

Dear all
So far 25 stations in England have signed up for the free traffic news service arranged by the CMA for members in England, with GTN supported by the Highways Agency. These have all now received their details and we have a further five in process.
You can join this scheme at any time and it is free, saving you around £1,000 per year, provided you are a member of the CMA (current cost £50 per annum) and you agree to the Terms & Conditions for the scheme as per the documents on our website at:
http://www.commedia.org.uk/2010/07/09/sign-up-for-traffliclink-news/
If you would like to receive free traffic news, then please complete and sign the form which you can find online and return it to us – we are submitting new applications monthly so it will not take long for you to be able to use the service.
We are working on trying to agree similar schemes for the other Nations in the UK, we will keep you posted.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes
Jaqui
Director, Community Media Association
