Not-For-Profit is basically community and voluntary
radio stations. Community radio
stations are operated, owned, and influenced by the communities broadcast to.
They are generally non-profit and bring the community together by getting individuals and
groups to share their stories/experiences and in a media-rich world, to become
creators and contributors of media.
They offer training and opportunities for
those looking to get involved with radio locally.
Community radio stations are usually
limited to broadcast in areas within a 5 kilometre radius of their transmitter.
The normal allocated power for a new community station in an urban area is 25
watts vertically polarised, although most allocations permit the addition of a
further 25 watts horizontally polarised. For some rural stations these limits
are increased to 50 watts horizontal.
These radio stations are no permitted to
raise more than 50% of their operating costs from a single source, including
on-air sponsorship and advertising. The remainder of operating costs must be
met through other sources.
Different types of not-for-profit radios:
- · Hospital Radio
