The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has launched a Community Broadcast Scheme to fund community television and radio broadcast.
A total funding of €40,000 will be made available to support licensed community and community of interest broadcasters. The BAI hopes the grants will enable broadcasters to evaluate and review their services. The Scheme was launched last weekend and closing date for applications to be submitted is 29th July 2011 .
Commenting on the launch of this year’s scheme, Michael O’Keeffe, BAI Chief Executive said: “The BAI is very pleased to continue its support of the community broadcasting sector through its Community Broadcasting Support Scheme. The Scheme makes a significant contribution to the development of individual community stations, the community broadcasting sector and the community as a whole. We believe that the funding being made available again this year will continue to enhance the development of the community broadcasting sector even further.”
