I found out the history of Community Radio and when it was first established, which was in the 1970's. The website also shows what communtiy radio has to go through with the government and how it is funded. This was useful because it gave me a foundation to start from and how to go by answering my question. this has led to going more specifically into New Style radio and how the community influences the radio station. the questionaire in which i've sent to New Style

• When New style was originally set up what was the format for the Show?
  what has changed since then?
• New Style radio has recently been set up, how has it grown in the sense how many listeners have New Style got now than before?
• When New style was set up did you think it was going to be a successful community radio?
  Is New Style going to be around for a long time? And if it is what are its future plans?
• What is your opinion on Community radio?

this is primary research and it let me look into New Style first hand and would help me answer my question. I also went onto the New Style radio website which was just general info on the radio station so to a certain extent it was hepful.

I've also gone to the library to research on the background of radio and how it originated. however they weren't useful because they gave me the whole history of how radio had started in the early 18th century.
