The automatic rollover of a licence should also be considered, particularly in the case of a station which has fulfilled its remit, produced good programming, looked after its community and listenership, complied with all regulations and maintained a quality station. There is no reason, if there is no other bona fide contender for the licence, that the operating station should be put through the demanding, expensive and time-consuming procedure of re-applying for its licence. In such cases, there is a strong argument for automatic renewal.
