BAI allocates funding of €21k via Community Broadcasting Support Scheme
02 May 2017 : Laura Brennan
The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) recently announced details of funding being offered to seven Community and Community of Interest broadcasters under its Community Broadcasting Support Scheme including one local TV broadcasting project Cork Community Television (CCTV).

The Scheme is designed to enable broadcasters to complete reviews that will advance the organisational development of their station.  Total funding of €21,610 is being offered to the seven successful stations: Community Radio Youghal (CRY); Cork Community Television (CCTV); Dublin South FM; Phoenix FM; ROS FM; Tipp Mid-West; and, West Limerick FM.  Applications were examined by a panel of assessors, including independent personnel, who made recommendations on the funding to be allocated.

The funding project summary for Cork Community Television (CCTV) focuses on having an external consultant to undertake a review of the station, including previous business plans, finances, members and volunteers.  The consultant will draw up a business plan which will assist the station in planning future development. The project should help the station meet the needs of staff, volunteers and audiences.

Cork Community Television (CCTV) was established as a Company Limited by Guarantee in May 2007. Its primary aim is to enable communities to make, manage and broadcast television programming to reflect the interests, activities and concerns of these communities, in order to effect positive social change.

Speaking about the announcement, Michael O’Keeffe, Chief Executive of the BAI, said: “The great work of Community and Community of Interest services around the country contributes significantly to Ireland’s varied and diverse broadcasting landscape and the BAI is committed to supporting the ongoing development of these stations.

“We were pleased to see the high standard of applications we received, and the broadcasters’ recognition of the value of undertaking research, reviews and evaluations to ensure the needs of staff, volunteers and communities are met now and into the future.”

The types of initiatives being funded include a project to increase community engagement; a consultation process and subsequent development of a volunteer charter; two full organisational reviews including the development of business plans; and, three audience research projects to inform programming and strategic planning.

More information on the funding allocated through the Community Broadcasting Support Scheme can be found online via the BAI website.
