Community Radio Support Scheme

Since 1998, the BCI has provided funding to community radio stations to undertake important evaluative work through the Community Radio Support Scheme. The Scheme's aim was to help improve station performance and build capacity within the community radio sector as a whole. The fundign offered stations an opportunity to carry out key review work that assisted overall performance and bult capacity.

In 2009, the Scheme was extended to include applications from community television stations to support their development. The Scheme's annual funds were increased to allow for the additional submissions from the community television sector.

The 2009 Community Broadcasting Support Scheme will be launched on 20th February 2009. The closing date for receipt of submissions is 1st April 2009. The closing date for receipt of the station's Final Report on the Scheme is 13th November 2009.
