Licence Applications in Scotland

Licence applications for two new Christian radio stations in Scotland have been lodged with Ofcom.

Alive Radio is based in Dumfries and has broadcast a number of times under Restricted Service Licences, the last being during the summer of 2006. Alive's application appears to be uncontested and in an area with ample space on the radio dial; the application is therefore likely to be judged only on its merits.

Contact information for Alive Radio is:-

Highland Christian Radio is based in Inverness where there has been an interest in Christian based radio for some time. There is a further licence application in this area, from Ness FM which is likely to be based in the Caledonian Stadium. Inverness is also home to the commercial radio station Moray Firth Radio which was originally licenced on the basis of being a community service.
