Link: Draft of a joint submission to the DCMS by the CMA
It is NOT a statement from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It is a draft of a joint submission to the DCMS by the CMA and UKCRN, both of which have a vested in analogue community radio continuing, as they represent those stations.
----
The Community Media Association and the UK Community Radio Network are recommending that there is strong support for the continuation of analogue community radio. They recommend continuation of licences post their current 20-year limit, and for new licensing to begin to allow new entrants and new stations to start broadcasting and serve more communities across the UK.
They are also advocating for a review and relaxation of the restrictions on income generation for community radio stations, to help the sector to be more sustainable and thrive.

And, if you had been bothered to click on the link to the draft submission, you would have seen they are only referring to the sustainability and future of FM, no mention of AM.
So, how does this 'sounds like the Netherlands'?
