Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! Over a year since the last blog - what have I been doing? Well, trying to make a living for one thing and trying to get the station off the starting blocks for another.
We're on to our second potential home after the first fell through and we're busy trying to source funding which, as you can imagine at this particular time, is a difficult task.
On the plus side the management team is now three strong - Brian Sims and Hugh Kermode join me on the board of Rother Community Broadcasting Ltd.; the holding company and we are near to finalising the structure of the management committee that will oversee the day-to-day running of the station.
We're also considering a change of name to RXFM to make the station less Rye-centric. Anyway, much to do and I promise to keep more up-to-date with the blog from now on!

Possible home found
Amazingly we think we might have been offered free premised in the centre of Rye! I'm afraid we can't reveal where just yet as we are in discussion with the owners but it'll be a real boon if we get them.
Personally, I've always believed that it's important for a small radio station to be at the centre of its community and visible. It was very much the fashion in the 1990s to stick stations away from the centre in cheap industrial units or, like Arrow in Hastings, on the top of a shopping centre (although they've now left Hastings almost entirely leaving only a news office and a sales person).
We'll let you know more when we can.

Even Longer Apparently!
Ofcom have just informed me that the announcement for our licence will be delayed until June or even July. Ho hum.

And a long wait it'll be!
Just had an email from OFCOM saying that the decision for us will be in May 2009! Well, plenty of time to plan things I suppose.
On another note it would appear that neither Impact in Hastings or Romney Marsh FM ended up putting applications in which is a shame.

Right, that's it then!
It's just after midnight and I've pressed the SEND button on the email. The application is in, now the waiting begins!
