Ofcom is responsible for licensing community radio services and has awarded over 300 licences since 2005. Over 220 community stations are broadcasting throughout the UK.
Applications for community radio licences are considered by Ofcom in accordance with the requirements of the Community Radio Order 2004. In order to treat all applicants equally, and given the high volume of potential applicants, Ofcom's policy is carry out licensing in rounds, inviting applications from each region of the UK in turn. For similar reasons of fairness, Ofcom does not accept an application from specific groups in a region without also accepting applications from across the whole region.
Ofcom invited applicants for the West and East Midlands in the first half 2014, with the closing date for applications on 24 June 2014. Ofcom has not yet confirmed a timetable for further licensing rounds, however Ofcom notes the continuing interest from potential applicant groups, as this will help inform its decisions on future licensing.
A total of 9 licences in the Midlands during the current round of licensing - most recently 3 licences were awarded in January 2015 to stations in the Midlands region. More details can be found on the Ofcom website: http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radio-broadcast-licensing/community-radio/current-licensees/awards-round-3/.
Full details on applying for community radio licenses can also be found on Ofcom’s website: http://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/radio-broadcast-licensing/community-radio/apply-for-licence/

I thank the Minister for that extremely clear introduction to the issue. By and large, we welcome the order. The Minister is quite right to say that it is modest. I would like to press him on the fact that it perhaps needs to be less modest.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether there is a limit on the number of stations on a digital audio multiplex aimed at the same section of the listening audience.
Digital broadcasting services are regulated by Ofcom, the independent broadcasting regulator. Ofcom, is responsible for the licensing of digital radio multiplexes and for ensuring that a licence holder complies with the conditions of their licence.
Ofcom is required under legislation, among other things, to further the interests of consumers in relevant markets, where appropriate by promoting competition and to secure the availability throughout the UK of a wide range of television and radio services which (taken as a whole) are both of high quality and calculated to appeal to a variety of tastes and interests.
When considering an application to operate a digital radio multiplex or in the instance where an existing licence holder of a digital radio multiplex is seeking a change to the services broadcasting on the multiplex. Ofcom will take account of a digital radio multiplex licence holder’s ensemble of digital sound programme services as a whole when considering whether such services appeal to a wide variety of tastes and interests. This would not necessarily preclude a digital radio multiplex operator from including in their ensemble digital sound programme services which are of the same or a similar genre and/or appeal to the same or a similar demographic group.
