Community Radio Support in Other Jurisdictions

In May 2006 the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA/ANREC), with assistance from the European office of the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters (AMARC), completed a study of community radio support mechanisms in several industrialized countries. This work was not exhaustive, as some countries identified as having community radio funding programs (including Denmark and Belgium) were not included because of lack of primary sources during the research period. The study was restricted to state-mandated support for community radio at the federal level.
The NCRA/ANREC has identified seven industrialized countries – Ireland, the United States, Australia, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom – with national government-mandated community radio support programs. Support typically takes one of three forms: a direct station operational subsidy; targeted support for specific station operations (typically programming production and distribution, staff training and capacity building, and transmission and production equipment); or a combination of the two.
What follows is a summary of community radio support programs in the seven
identified countries.
