Kilkenny Communications Co-Operative Society Limited expects to hear shortly from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland if their application for a 30-day Pilot Community Radio Licence has been successful.
If positive news emerges from the BAI, Community Radio Kilkenny could be on air by Saturday February 19, 2011.
In anticipation of a positive response from the BAI, the Board of KCCCS has been actively putting plans in place for the commencement of broadcasting on the new community radio station ( Community Radio Kilkenny ).
The Board of KCCCS is holding a public meeting in the Ormonde Hotel on Tuesday, January 18, at 7:30 pm and anybody interested in broadcasting or assisting with the operation of the new station is invited to attend. Representatives of community groups within the franchise area of Kilkenny city and its environs are also welcome to attend. The new station is particularly keen to focus on the activities of community groups and individuals involved with these groups.
The Board of KCCCS will outline the new station’s strategy and vision for community broadcasting at the meeting. The proposed programme schedule and a newly prepared charter for presenters will also be outlined on the night.
Further information may be had by contacting the chairman of KCCCS, Cathal Cullen, on 086 8238762.
