Mansfield Community Radio has, sadly, been unsuccessful in its bid for a 5-year broadcast licence.
The main reason OFCOM gave for the refusal was that our target audience conflicted with that of Mansfield 103.2.
Philip Smith, Mansfield Community Radio's station manager, said that although we were not given a licence this time round, OFCOM was in no doubt the team had the expertise to produce a radio station.
"We have been told some applications that went in on the first round and failed were successful in the second, so we are optimistic."
Community radio stations operate on a non-profit basis, and usually cover small areas.
