Radio Jcom conducts week-long test transmission
From The Jewish Chronicle, 7 August, 2008
Radio Jcom, the Leeds Jewish community radio station, conducted a seven-day test transmission on a medium wave band last week. Based at Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Community Centre, Radio JCom began broadcasting via the Internet in 2007. Last week, the station recorded its first Negev Desert Tracks programme with theatre producer Brian Daniels as its first guest. David Harris, technical adviser and producer, said that the test transmission was heard across Yorkshire.

Radio Jcom
The UK's first full-time Jewish community radio station licence has been awarded to Radio Jcom in Leeds.
Ofcom, the organisation which grants permission to broadcast, has given the station an initial five year licence to be on medium wave to the local Jewish community.
It will be based at Leeds' MAZCC Community Centre and apart from Saturday, will broadcast on-air 24 hours a day, six days a week.
Radio Jcom, which is run by a team of volunteers and is a non-profit organisation, says it will start broadcasting from December on the internet and aims to be on the airwaves by June 2008.
According to a spokesman, the station will be "inclusive" to all parts of the 10,000 strong Leeds community: "We will be serving the whole community with programmes covering all interests."
A sister station in London, Jcom, which is currently broadcasting on a one month licence pending an application for its own five year licence said it applauds the decision and wishes the Leeds station a "hearty mazeltov and a successful future".
Leeds gets Jewish station

Ofcom has awarded a five year radio licence to one community group today, for a station to serve the Jewish community in Leeds. Radio JCom will broadcast on medium wave with information and programmes about the various interests of the community and offer radio training for volunteers.
Community radio services typically cover a small geographical area and are provided on a not-for-profit basis focusing on the delivery of specific social benefits to enrich a particular geographical community or a community of interest.
A statement setting out the main determining factors for the award of the community radio licence to Radio JCom will be available shortly from the Ofcom website.
