After four years of online broadcasts, Secklow Sounds Radio was granted FM status by Ofcom in March 2015. This five-year licence will allow the station to broadcast on 105.5 FM, starting in early 2016.This is what Ofcom’s Broadcast Licensing Committee (BLC) said of Secklow Sounds FM application, “The BLC was satisfied that the applicant had the relevant experience to maintain its proposed service for the duration of the licence, noting that the applicant has been broadcasting a similar type of service online since 2011 (1a).
The BLC also took into consideration the applicant’s links to the community; for example, its relationships with local youth groups, businesses, mental health and disability charities, and its proposed partnership with the University of Bedford. The BLC considered that these links will enable the applicant to deliver specific and identifiable social gain to Milton Keynes (1e), and to provide a service which caters to the tastes and interests of its target communities (1b).
