The NAB has organised a workshop for the community radio sector in South Africa. The workshop is hosted by the SABC and is seen as an important opportunity to bring together key stakeholders in community radio. With the process of issuing the first round of four-year community radio licenses drawing to a close, the need was felt for this workshop to focus on the market place and ways for the community radio industry to become a strong player.

Among the topics to be covered are:

• The future of community radio in South Africa
• The role of the MDDA
• Regulatory issues facing community radio
• Selling community radio
• Measuring audiences
• Generating income
