How is a community radio station defined?
“Community radio is a station that is governed by communities. Governance, management and running of the station also belong to the community. It is mostly volunteer-run and with very few paid staff.” Would they be open to networking with ‘campus radio’ stations, now being set up in some larger educational centres in India, for instance? “Strictly speaking, these aren’t community radio stations. But it would be important to associate with them in a positive manner. They would be welcome to join AMARC in its activities. This development has to be seen in a positive light (at least as a starting point),” says Basnet. “The policy to say either all (full-fledged community radio) or nothing is not a good step.” There are many different concepts and names from the world of community radio – community radio, rural radio, cooperative radio, participatory radio, free radio, alternative, popular, educational radio – so, what is it that makes a radio station a community radio station?
