Ballina Community Radio

The Broadcast Commission of Ireland, (BCI) has adopted this definition; ‘A community radio station is characterised by its ownership and programming and the community it is authorised to serve. It is owned and controlled by a not-for-profit organisation whose structure provides for membership, management, operation and programming primarily by members of the community at large. Its programming should be based on community access and should reflect the special needs of the listenership it is licensed to serve.’
