Huntingdon Community Radio is a community radio station operating from studios in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England. It was awarded a broadcast license by OfCom in 2009 and has been broadcasting 24/7 on 104 FM across Huntingdonshire and online since April 2011. ==History== Huntingdon has had a community radio station on air for three weeks every year since Bill Hensley and a small band of enthusiasts established it 1995. Known today as Huntingdon Community Radio (HCRfm), the station put out a mix of familiar music, with national and local news and special programmes about community life in Huntingdon and the surrounding towns and villages. Using space provided at initially St Neot’s Community College and later RAF Wyton, a team of 30 volunteers, came together for each two and, at times, four week broadcasts annually. HCRfm established a keen and loyal audience and as a station decided to adapt and bring full-time community radio to Huntingdonshire. A full-time station for Huntingdon, developed and managed by local people, only became a reality in 2008 when OfCom the broadcasting regulator announced one of, if not the last batch of community radio licences, indicating that some would be approved in East Anglia. Much hard work produced an application for a full-time licence, following research and consulting with and seeking the support of hundreds of community organisations. All this paid off in the summer of 2009 when Ofcom granted HCR a full-time FM licence. The station has national news each hour from SKY and local news in association with The Hunts Post each day. The station is funded through a mix of grants, advertising and sponsorship. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huntingdon Community Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
