A Community Radio Licence Application For Northampton And Surrounding Villages.

Great News! NNBC has been awarded a community radio licence.

The new station will broadcast from state of the art studios in the centre of town. Chair of the new community radio station, and former Northampton MP Tony Clarke said.”We are delighted with Ofcom’s decision, and the ongoing support from the University, as a board we have felt that Northampton’s local media offer needed a boost, and its people a voice, we want to showcase the best of Northampton and provide news, music and spoken word content which is fresh and relevant to the local community. We have a lot of work ahead of us now to give birth to the new station and that work starts now”

Steve Taylor, Deputy Dean of the School of the Arts at the University of Northampton, added: “The granting of a licence for NNBC to broadcast for five years is fantastic news for the people of Northampton and our students. Those studying our Multimedia Journalism course will be able to benefit from real-world experience by assisting with production, content and presenting duties – all of which will increase their future employability.”
