Jorvik Radio Ltd. aims to provide a new FM radio service, ‘Jorvik FM’, to the residents of the City of York Unitary Authority area. York is a city of roughly 200,000 potential listeners, situated in the North East of the UK and set within the county of North Yorkshire. It also aims to cover those satellite areas ‘under the daily influence’ of the city; so where people commute or travel from for work, services, shopping, education and the alike. The area of proposed broadcast has the following demographic breakdown:

Population * Ethnicity * Unemployment ** Religion *

198,051 94% white (largest 2.8% of the 59.5% Christian non-white group is working population 30% did not specify Chinese at 1.2%) religion

3. Proposed area Guidance Notes What is the area you propose to serve? Although we believe it is helpful to set guidance that frequency availability may often limit transmission powers to around 25 watts and the coverage radius to around 5km, we are adopting a more flexible approach and will consider applications for wider areas where applicants can demonstrate that the proposed coverage area will better serve the target community, and where it is technically possible. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/101 459/community-radio-future-licensing-technical-policy- statement.pdf

Jorvik Radio Ltd. is aiming to broadcast, from its city centre location to a radius of up to 6.5km (4 miles) to cover the City of York Unitary Authority area and some adjacent areas. It will include 20 wards (outlined below) consisting of 47 ‘places’ which make up the Unitary Authority area. The hope is to cover some of the additional area which are served by North Yorkshire County Council but can be said to be under the ‘daily influence’ of the city. This would include areas where workers, shoppers or students might commute from into the city or areas that can be described as the ‘satellite’ of the city. Jorvik Radio Ltd. has included a coverage map below highlighting the potential listenership area covered by its proposed broadcasting. Jorvik Radio Ltd. propose that ‘Jorvik FM’ will also be available via the internet and an app, it will also consider local DAB should this become available in the future.

Programmes and programme output: Definitions: Studio location: The studio from which the service will be broadcast should be located within the licensed area. Locally-produced: Locally-produced output is output made and broadcast from within the service’s licensed coverage area. (It is anticipated that most stations will produce the bulk of their output themselves, in the locality. However, for some target communities it may be appropriate for fairly high levels of output to originate from outside the licensed area.) Live output: is that which is produced by a presenter in the studio at the time of broadcast. (The amount of live output may vary between different services depending on the needs or expectations of the target community.) Original output: output that is first produced for and transmitted by the service, and excludes output that was transmitted elsewhere before. Original output can be live or voice-tracked. Repeat broadcasts of original output do not count towards the minimum requirement. Peak time: it may be helpful to state what material will be broadcast in ‘peak time’. If you do, please say what you consider peak time to be for your target community (this may vary from station to station). Automated output/voice-tracked material: most stations will carry automated output at some time. The amount of automated or voice-tracked material does not need to be specified in the Key Commitments. Sustaining service/third party produced material: if you intend to broadcast material produced by a different organisation please state what it is and how much (per day or week as appropriate).

Jorvik Radio Ltd. aims for its programming to mirror the city that it serves; to reflect the progressive, exciting and diverse cultural community it will support. It aims to be an image of the great work and play taking place in the city, informing residents on opportunities, to enable the city to thrive and support itself to develop. ‘Jorvik FM’ will therefore play an upbeat, fresh and positive mix of popular music; with A, B and C lists, from the 60s to the present day. It also aims to give equal weight to the city’s excellent musical pedigree by playing local artist within its output regularly, regardless of whether they are established artists or not, giving the city’s performers equal parity with well-known acts. Speech programming will fall into 4 main categories; • Arts – which should include poetry, storytelling, debate, review and comment. • Sports – aiming not only to cover ‘professional’ teams, but create dedicated programming to report grassroots play and competition across the city, of all types of sporting activity. To provide listeners with

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

information on how to access sporting opportunities. • Education – this will fulfil a more general interest remit for listeners, covering areas such as science, travel (etc.). It is the intention to work with local education providers to see if content can be produced locally in future. The aim is start this process with the local agricultural college producing a regular countryside/farming programme. • Community – the intention is to have a series of content aimed squarely at the local community, with specific programmed content covering business, charities, women, arts, events, LGBT issues and faith. Most of this content will be possible by utilising established relationships with organisations like York Pride and the Women’s Business Network.

‘Jorvik FM’ will also provide a dedicated single episode public access radio slot. This will allow for attainment of community goals such as those pursuing DoE, work experience, lifelong learning, specialist interest groups (archelogy is especially strong in York for example), one-off event coverage for organising groups (etc.). It will also be used to trial new shows and for volunteer training.

Speech programming is likely to be in the order of 20% of the stations output. The spread of its scheduling is across all the time slots, as well as weekday and weekend programming, plus across a range of the on-air talented volunteer team. ‘Jorvik FM’ will blend live and voice tracked programmes across it schedule, splitting this in the order of 40% of its total output being voice tracked, but predominantly still created locally. The schedule will feature this content at a variety of times and days. Weekday output aims to feature live breakfast and afternoon content, with the majority of the community and specialist content also being live. Weekend content, most of which is locally generated, will also be predominately live. It should be noted the station’s output is to be solely in the English language. Programmes on ‘Jorvik FM’ fall into 4 broad categories: • Standard Content - Like most radio stations Jorvik Radio aims to broadcast a range of ‘traditional’ content that would you would expect from a commercial or BBC station. It will just be that as a Community station, the content will reflect the city and its residents; local guests, news and events, weather, traffic will all be staple output (very early morning content will be replaced by jukebox content, as well as lunchtimes). o This would be programs like: ▪ Early Breakfast ▪ Breakfast ▪ Mid Mornings ▪ Afternoons ▪ Drive-time

• Specialist Content – ‘Jorvik FM’ will have a series of specialist content that will reflect the eclectic and diverse taste of the city. The majority will be music, but there will be other forms of programming also; all of which will be locally produced by fans of the specific genres. The aim is to tie most of this programming to clubs, societies, organisations etc. that have an established following already within the city and to use people already established in those groups.

For example, the folk show will be tied to the Black Swan Folk Club, using its management team to provide weekly output. The Black Swan Folk Club is the UK’s longest established club and an agreement with the club has been reached on the successful issuing of a licence for them to join the ‘Jorvik FM’ team. o This would be programs like: ▪ Jazz, Country, Hip-Hop, Dance, Reggae, Soul, Folk, Classical, Blues, Metal/Rock, and Indie ▪ (Spoken Word) Faith, Arts and Culture.

• Educational Content - Whilst there will be some educational content of the station, this is likely to be externally sourced. It is the intention to work with local education providers to see if content can be produced locally in future (see earlier comment). o Examples of this include:

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

▪ Guardian Science ▪ Travel ▪ Natural World

• Community Content - Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s key purpose is to serve its community, and as a result the station will dedicate at least one hour daily to programming to reflect this. This content will be repeated at least once, in different time slots across days to ensure maximum coverage. ‘Jorvik FM’ already has a volunteer in place to produce programmes to cover: o Politics & Authority o Arts o LGBT o Business o What’s On Jorvik Radio Ltd. have been very successful in engaging with a number of established local organisations prior to this application to obtain a selection of partner programming, with web news service ‘York Mix’, ‘York Calling’ (a York arts fanzine) and ‘York TV’ on board to provide additional community content. In addition, the station is based in the media complex of York St John University, providing unique access to student volunteers and the University’s news room, as well as access to material produced as part of the students’ qualifications. Every advertising block (two per hour) between the hours of 7am – 7pm (weekdays) and 8am – 5pm (weekends) will feature free community ads. This will be for events, fundraising or to signpost the group/organisation’s existence.

B. What is the address of the proposed studio (if known)?

Media Centre, York St John University, Lord Mayor's Walk, York, YO31 7EX

C: Based on what you have said above, how will your proposed radio service cater for the tastes and interests of your target community/communities? Answer in fewer than 400 words:

The city of York is a broad, diverse and progressive collective of individuals. Jorvik Radio Ltd., as residents themselves and through extensive analysis of the activities occurring in York, feel they have a wide variety of potential programming to reflect this. By using a range of local volunteers of different ages, sexes, socio-economic groups, education and faiths across the full spectrum of times to schedule their output, Jorvik Radio Ltd. aims to be a direct mirror image of the city it will serve. Content will aim to show the breadth of the activities regularly taking place in the city; its art, its music, its faith, its business, its sport and its charity. In addition, it aims to support its community by showcasing the support and opportunities for development that exist, using local people to achieve this. Jorvik Radio Ltd. will encourage local faith groups, many of whom have supported the FM application, to provide positive inspirational content. Support has been very forthcoming from figures from groups in authority; local MPs, the council, the emergency services, the NHS etc., with the aim to use ‘Jorvik FM’ to provide the city’s residents with information on their work and to reflect the impact of national decisions on the locality. ‘Jorvik FM’ will run a weekly show to cover this area of interest. Through close ties with partner groups, ‘Jorvik FM’ will show the events that York is hosting, majoring on the positive and up-beat, reflecting on the fact that it is a great place to play, live, learn and grow. As the station’s landlord, and significant backer, St John’s University educates 6,000 students annually, providing a brilliant talent pool for on and off-air volunteers, a ‘captive’ listenership and a vital resource in enabling Jorvik Radio Ltd. ‘Jorvik FM’ aims to open up the airwaves to allow open access sessions, to offer free advertising to community groups and projects, plus tie in with schools, youth organisations and life-long learning providers to offer opportunities to learn new skills and reach goals. ‘Jorvik FM’ could, for example assist York’s Cub Scouts in attaining their communications badge or media students with work experience or help with IT classes at night school.

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

‘Jorvik FM’ aims to not only be a station by the people of York, but to be station for the people of York. Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s mission statement is “Community Through Communication”.

D: How will your proposed community radio service add to the range of programmes available on non-BBC local services (commercial and community stations) to members of the relevant community or communities, add to the overall range of such services in the area concerned and be different and distinct from them? Please tell us which non-BBC local services your station will overlap with. Answer in fewer than 400 words:

York is currently only served directly by one FM station outside of the national broadcasters, which is part of a national chain, UKRD. The output of this station therefore can be viewed as un-tailored to the community in which it broadcasts which is the issue ‘Jorvik FM’ intends to tackle. The content on ‘Jorvik FM’ won’t be enjoyed by everyone all of the time, that’s not possible. It is however crucial to mix the local with the national and give it equal weighting; working closely with its commerce, charities, makers and players to reflect what they do. ‘Jorvik FM’ aims to signpost the community to activities in the city, to support its residents and show the plethora of things it has to offer. Through its cheerful, upbeat and fresh sounding daytime content; mixing local guests, local current affairs and supporting local music it aims to provide an appealing alternative to the current provision, rather than compete with it directly. ‘Jorvik FM’ aims to be educational, engaging and surprising in equal measure. The sole reason for this application is to improve, diversify and widen the city’s listening options. Specialist programming, untaken by enthusiastic, knowledgeable, local, cultural taste makers; whether it’s local writers reading their short stories to send the city off to sleep at bedtime or faith groups providing inspirational messages, or through to fans of a musical genre sharing their bulging record collections on air, ‘Jorvik FM’ will reflect the tastes, passions and interests of listeners. Jorvik Radio Ltd. have taken time to look at the city, to scope what goes on, to see its life and collect together a team and form partnerships to create an accurate representation of York aurally. York’s general population has no community radio currently, and as such lacks a voice. The ability to reflect its activities, commerce, education, social interactions along with its niche interests and sub-cultures, is something Jorvik Radio Ltd. relishes.

5. Social gain Guidance Notes Community radio is required to be for the public good and Broadcasting legislation specifies a number of ‘characteristics to bring community benefits, or social gains, to listeners of community radio services’. Licence holders need to ensure and participants. The requirement for ‘social gain,’ is one their services conform to these characteristics, including in of the key factors that make community radio stations this case the delivery of social gain. different from other radio services. The legislation sets out social gains that stations must Please tell us what community benefits your service will provide. These are the achievement, in respect of individuals bring to your target community(ies) and/or the general or groups of individuals in the target community, or in respect public. Please include summaries of evidence to support of other members of the public, of the following objectives – your answer.

Social gain may also include the achievement of other objectives of a social nature.1 Applicants are required to provide evidence that their service will result in significant social gain to the public or the target

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

community(ies). Copies of letters or research reports etc. should not be submitted, but brief relevant extracts from them, which represent an accurate and comprehensive summary, may be included. If we wish to see the source material, we will ask for it. Ofcom is required to have regard to the extent to which your proposed service would result in the delivery of social gain to the public or target community.

One of the aims of Jorvik Radio Ltd. is to reach out to people who feel isolated in the community, across all age groups and help foster a sense of local pride and community cohesion. This would be achieved by giving them a voice to raise issues and speak directly to (and share the work of) Community Groups, local authority representatives, Health Care Professionals and Charities, amongst others. ‘Jorvik FM’ aims to give Community Groups and Charities a regular ‘slot’ to share their great work and celebrate the success of the organisations and their volunteers. Interviews would be made available for the organisation(s) to use in their evaluation reports for submission to their funding providers, use on their website to help share information, help with volunteer recruitment and provide news of events, as well as being available for use on social media platforms. ‘Jorvik FM’ intends to have a catch-up section on its own website with links to the organisation featured. In addition to the above, the aim is to have regular guest slots where listeners could phone in, pose a question and get it answered on the radio. These slots would include health and wellbeing, gardening, legal, financial information and the York City Council, to name but a few. The local community would be able to promote local events also (see previous details of community adverts). Working with established ‘community partners’ doing events such as musical memories and music quizzes. This is extremely valuable as our volunteers have piloted such events previously with a great response. Here are few comments from some pilot events: • I like your style, refreshments and singing. • Everything’s good because it’s local. • Good - enjoyed it all. Everyone lovely. Local & Good. • We brought a group of visually impaired people to this event. To see the smiles on the faces and practically see the memories flooding back for them was wonderful. Such a lovely way to reduce social isolation. This means such a lot to our members and we would love to be involved again. • A wonderful afternoon’s entertainment. • Meeting friends and lovely music. • Great sing along with wonderful humour. Love group participation. Nice to see happy faces. Delicious cake. • Very good company and a good atmosphere. Everybody enjoying themselves. • Really enjoyed every bit of it. Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s volunteer profile provides the opportunity to train people who are not already involved in the station in media related activities, for example, working with young carers to record, edit and produce a programme about the work they do or record a commercial with the aim of promoting and/or recruiting volunteers. Media training could also be provided to organisations such as charities, community groups and schools to help build their confidence when talking with the media. Pupils could record, produce and present their own show, for example, for the weekly open access slot; this works successfully on neighbouring community stations. As part of the community, ‘Jorvik FM’ intends to work with local community groups to listen to the issues that affect them to record their ‘voice’. For example, attend and record a Gardener’s Question Time, in liaison with local gardening clubs. There is an abundance of talented people within the local community; the station would give a voice for this talent. An example would be a teenage girl from York who wrote, recorded and produced a song to raise money for Amnesty International. A similar interview was recorded by one of our volunteers, content such as this would have a platform to be broadcast across the city. Broadcasting local talent would not be limited to musicians; it would also cover the arts, business and sports. The program “Inspire” would also capture local inspirational stories - stories that will resonate with the

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form listeners and help them make a positive change. A clear focus on community makes ‘Jorvik FM’ different to the other radio stations broadcasting in the local area. The national charity ‘Volunteering Matters’ are keen to partner with Jorvik Radio Ltd. to support their ‘Grand Mentor Project’, a project supporting young people leaving care. Volunteering Matters see radio as a medium that will be of interest to young people. Steve Twynham, Managing Director, is already working with Volunteering Matters and York City Council to bring this to fruition; an FM licence will help hugely to enable this project. ‘Jorvik FM’s’ airwaves will be open to everyone. Debates, discussions, analysis and information will increase listeners’ awareness of other groups and aims to foster a greater community spirit. Students, working-age people, youth, the disabled and the elderly will all be encouraged to contribute to the output. ‘Jorvik FM’ will encourage projects – both with the recording of speech items and the compilation of music programmes. Live programmes during the morning and early evening will allow access to the airwaves for those who are unable to (or choose not to) record content, but still wants to contribute to the station. Longer term, the station will offer radio production training and mentoring for anyone who wishes to learn these skills via the envisaged Radio School project. Jorvik Radio Ltd. aims to conduct research in the city and will monitor feedback received by the station; from this information ‘Jorvik FM’ will constantly fine-tune the programme service. Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s aim is to have an advisory panel that will meet twice annually and be a ‘critical friend’. By debating and discussing local issues, there is a hope to increase participation in the democratic process also. With the help of the local media outlets and the local authorities, ‘Jorvik FM’ can help to increase the take up and delivery of local services, and assist in making them more reflective of the service users. With a public meeting as part of the city wide ‘Open Studios’, Jorvik Radio Ltd. can gather feedback and comment to ensure a high degree of accountability. This will not be an insular operation and will require an enthusiastic amount of input from the community of which we are confident, based on the letters of support so far. A website will explain the aims and aspirations of the station and ways to become involved. This will also be used for feedback, comments and support information gathered for broadcast. Jorvik Radio Ltd. aims to buy extra equipment for outside broadcasts to increase visibility of events, enable event attendance and provide a fuller service to the community. Partnerships with local groups such as ‘Work with York’, a council owned organisation helping people get back into work, will provide regular updates on job opportunities within the city. Other partnerships with such as ‘Make it York’, responsible for promoting events taking place in the city and providing business support services, provide an alternative opportunity for those who are unable to access their online service to engage. The strategic plan is to constantly broaden Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s contacts with the community, encouraging individuals and groups to participate in the operation of the station. Lack of broadcast experience will be no barrier to participation in programming, production or management contribution as volunteer training plan tackles this. York Pride and the proposed station have a memorandum of understanding in place to provide regular content and cover LGBT issues and cover their annual parade event. Through the office of the station’s Community Director, support will be offered to community groups by providing access to funding and training that will help capacity build their organisations. This could be for example, running free training courses on fundraising strategies through the organisations such as the Foundation for social improvement in the longer term.

6. Participation in the service Guidance Notes How do you propose to ensure that members of your Legislation specifies a number of ‘characteristics of target community (or communities) are given community radio services’.

7. Access to facilities and training Guidance Notes Set out the practical (formal and informal) mechanisms Ofcom is required by the legislation to have regard to the which you will use to ensure that members of your target provision each applicant proposes to make to allow for access community can gain access to your facilities that would be by members of the target community to the facilities to be used for the provision of your service and to receive used for the provision of the service and for their training in training in their use. the use of those facilities. Your draft ‘key commitments’ (later in this form) should include a summary of your proposed access and objectives for training people in the use of the facilities as set out below. Answer in fewer than 400 words:

Open Access Broadcasts As part of the schedule, it is intended to host a show called “Community Open Access” where community groups can use the opportunity to speak to the city; whether a group using the time to achieve an externally set goal (such as DoE or Cubs/Brownie badges), a local group wanting to discuss their activities like a model railway group or local archaeology club, or a charity or group of service users wanting to promote an event or add broadcasting to their portfolio of skills. This slot will also be used for ‘Jorvik FM’ to trial new program content, presenters from the community and eventually outside broadcasts. While the show’s content will be very fluid, it will be directly influenced by members of the community, they will be assisted by a trained volunteer of the ‘Jorvik FM’ team to produce, edit and broadcast their content for a show. This show will be proactively promoted, through regular infomercials during broadcasts and via social media, media partners, volunteer organisations and a ‘get involved’ section on the ‘Jorvik FM’ website. Interest has already been voiced by a group of teenagers with learning difficulties and a number of cub packs. Open Studio Once a year to fall in line with York Open Studios (this event has over 200 makers opening their work places to the city), the intention is to open the studios to the public, enabling them to meet the presenters, see shows going out live and even come on air to be interviewed. Radio School Jorvik Radio Ltd. intends to offer foundation level radio training to members of the community via the Radio School. It is likely this will be delivered by one of the BBC trained or Media & Production Degree qualified volunteers. Staffing Members of the ‘Jorvik FM’ team will become nominated training and compliance officers and will be assigned

the responsibility to create and deliver a formal training plan. This will cover operational & presenter training as described in the presenter guidelines and will be delivered to each member of staff before going on air. The compliance officer will be responsible for compliance/refresher training, intended to be ran annually (this is a model seen successfully implemented on a nearby community station).

8. Accountability Guidance Notes Please set out your proposed community accountability Broadcasting legislation specifies a number of ‘characteristics mechanisms. These should cover matters such as: of community radio services’. Licence holders need to ensure How will members of your target community: their services conform to these characteristics.

As a station that aims to be a direct manifestation of the community it is broadcasting to, ‘Jorvik FM’ will value its listeners and their input. It will shape content, support the station’s aims of giving residents a voice and enable the city to be able to enjoy its happenings and find the right support. Jorvik Radio Ltd.’s accountability mechanisms are four fold: • Management Team; made up local residents, business leaders and those with a track record in sustainable radio elsewhere. Their monthly management team meeting will have ‘listener contact’ as permanent agenda item. This will also be included in the bi-annual presenter meetings. • Direct Contact; all the usual social media platforms for listeners to contact the station; Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. as well as standard electronic channels; email, text and telephone plus a PO Box for post. The webpages will host a contact form and a member of the management team will include ‘listener contact’ as part of their remit and be responsible for action and reporting to fellow board members and volunteers. These channels will allow listeners to request songs or contact individual shows to publicise a gig or put themselves forward to join the team. Further research will be undertaken into membership schemes and crowdfunding campaigns at a later date. • External Steerage; an advisory panel will meet twice yearly to review content, finance, community interaction and suggest strategic enhancements to the station.

Guidance notes: station’s draft key commitments

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

Please draft the Key Commitments for your proposed service. There is a blank key commitments template overleaf. If your organisation is awarded a licence, the key commitments you draft here will be included in your licence. (Please note: Ofcom may require amendments if, for example, we feel changes are required to better reflect your application proposals). Your draft Key Commitments should be consistent with, and, where appropriate, summarise the answers you have already given in this application form. It is important that you draft your own commitments rather than just copying what may have been done by others. You should keep in mind that it will be a condition of any licence to meet the Key Commitments: something you must do at all times and for breach of which you could face sanctions including revocation of the licence. So, you should think carefully about what you will be committing to. We would expect key commitments to be brief and no more than one page long.

In addition to this, Jorvik Radio Ltd. has, and will continue to, recruit new presenters, especially through major supporter York St John University.

Jorvik Radio Ltd. conducted research with 280 community members which showed real insight into the community’s views on community radio. It posed several questions including: - How many hours do you listen to live radio on a weekly basis? - What is your typical medium for listening to radio? - What genre(s) of music would you like to listen to on a community radio station? The key results showed FM is by far the leading medium for radio listenership in York, with 64% of people using this as their primary way of listening (more than 20% above the second highest result, DAB). 95% of the community surveyed said they listened to the radio on a weekly basis; only 5% said they are unlikely to listen to radio although four of these fourteen people cited their reason as “lack of relevant broadcast” in the area. Interestingly, three of these four people listed their music genre choice as a niche music genre. In fact, 163 of the 280 people surveyed (58%) listed a niche music genre as something they would like to listen to on a community radio station, rather than “generic, repetitive and bland content” (as one person said). ‘Jorvik FM’ intends to address this as a station by providing a mixed output of content, based partly on the results of this survey whilst maintaining integrity to the station’s vision. Jorvik Radio Ltd. already has numerous letters of support for ‘Jorvik FM’ from the community of York, extracts of which are recorded below: “Good communication is vital to enable this work to achieve its full potential and reach the local people that it aims to serve. Any venture that helps to draw together these disparate threads – local charities, businesses and community groups alike, providing a platform to communicate and promote their causes and ideas, can only be beneficial for our city.” Barbara Boyce – Lord Mayor of York “I wish you well with your application and the future of ‘Jorvik FM’.” The Most Revd & Rt Hon Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York. “We, York Interfaith Group, are delighted to express our full support for your new venture. York is a culturally rich city, with a strong representation of diverse faiths, and we hope that voices of faith and diversity and inspirational, faith-inspired music can regularly be heard on your station” Committee – York Interfaith Group “Our activities are all underpinned by communication so our welcome for this initiative is one of genuine warmth. The projected audience for the station is also highly relevant to our aim to ensure that culture and creativity plays a full part in the lives of the whole community. We would expect to work with ‘Jorvik FM’ on a range of levels, from the technical to working together on content.” M Lazenby – Master of the Guild of Media Arts

Jorvik FM community radio licence application form

“For us, as a community based organisation, it's of vital Importance to reach all members of the community and feel ‘Jorvik FM’ will be a fine addition to what is currently on offer for York.” G Stephenson – Chair – York Pride – LGBT “I am really pleased to support ‘Jorvik FM’, York’s latest media outlet and community radio station, which will be available across the city, not only engaging volunteers in the working of the radio station, but will provide a vital service for the community of York. York benefits greatly from having high standards of local media outlets, and ‘Jorvik FM’’s community objectives will ensure that this radio station will work in the interests of York, will keep residents up to date with all that is going on across the city, and provide a vital service for the community.” Rachael Maskell – Labour & Co-operative MP for York Central “York Museums Trust is always looking for new ways to encourage York residents to come and enjoy the fantastic art, history and culture available in York. Because of its community roots, ‘Jorvik FM’ could reach people who many not necessarily engage with existing media outlets. If so, it would provide a valuable platform for different organisations and community groups to communicate with each other and promote their activities.” R King – CEO – York Museums Trust “I believe that a new community radio station would bring great value to residents around York and I am excited by the project.” Julian Sturdy - MP for York Outer “We understand the benefits that come from having cohesive and engaged local communities, particularly for those who are more vulnerable. Community Radio can very much help in all sorts of ways – from being a friendly voice for those who are more isolated to spreading the word about local services and supporting charity fundraising. We are more than happy to show our support for your application.” C Ward – CEO – Family Fund “We would support an application to broadcast community news on FM radio in York and feel that we could offer a great deal of exciting content, whilst benefitting from the channel. It would enable us to further connect with our audiences here in York, but also to nurture new and vital audiences to discover what we have to offer them.” Dr D Tomlin MBE – Director – National Centre for Early Music We also found that most of the population of York are very interested in community ventures, with 70% of people saying they currently are, or would be prepared to be, involved in some way with a community project (either by supporting their events or assisting with the running or maintenance of the company). In the survey, the following statement was posed: "I feel that I do not know enough about what is happening in my community" The community were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with this statement. Shockingly, from this, 62% of people agreed with the statement. This further demonstrated the desire for some medium in the city which would produce content specific to York’s community.

Engineering notes We require preliminary radio frequency (r.f.) engineering information and applicants are advised that this section is not intended to be exhaustive. We are asking for the basic engineering parameters necessary to determine the extent of frequency availability in an applicant’s chosen area (after taking account of the requirements of neighbouring broadcasters); and to determine whether the proposed service area can be adequately served from this site. As a result, applicants should note the importance of identifying a transmission site that is suitable for the area they wish to serve. While Ofcom would not wish applicants to go to unnecessary expense (we do not guarantee the availability of a suitable frequency and/or our ability to allocate it for broadcasting from the chosen transmission site), we do require precise details about the transmission site chosen. The questions following relate to this. Applicants should provide evidence of negotiations or agreement with the site owner (e.g. whether a provisional agreement is in place). Any licence award will be based on the coverage area from the site identified in the application. If a licence is offered, Ofcom may not be able to agree to a change from the site put forward in this application (and any request for a change will need to be justified).
