Why does the Bill not make any provision for start-up funding? The start up process for radio stations can be expensive. I do not refer to private radio stations, which exist on a profit basis, but to community radio developments. In many cases, prohibitive start up costs are involved. If a sum of money is available and one sees that an effort is being made at local level, the Department should be able to top up that income to sustain and make a local community radio station viable. If this is not done, the energy and enthusiasm which is often displayed in these type of ventures will dissipate because of the costs over time. Rather than enhancing community radio stations around the country, we will see them going in the other direction. I would not like to see that happening because they answer a need in a local area and address all the different groupings there. They can produce very interesting programmes.
