Community radio is a medium of expressing and sharing views, thoughts, ideas, problems and prospects of rural, disadvantaged, vulnerable and hard to reach population with the mainstream population. As the media of root level people of the disadvantaged areas, Community radio has become popular in recent years and it has opened a new arena for both the policy makers as well as grassroots people to be involved in the development process of their community. There are about 17 Community Radios broadcasting 135 hours programmes in a day across the country. The Community Radio can help us in addressing social, economic, cultural, educational, health, water and sanitation and disaster related issues more effectively and strategically. In order to highlight the importance and effectiveness of community radio for the community development of Bangladesh, this study has been conducted based on the secondary data. This is a group effort that has become successful by the co-operation of many individuals and institutions. Access to Information (a2i) Programme would like to express sincere gratitude to Monisha Mohonto, Project Focal and Bakul Mohonto, Program Assistant, BTV for introducing such an innovative project. As this is a new concept, there is no significant study has been conducted. Therefore the study has been directed to explore the importance of community FM radio in Bangladesh particularly in remote and rural areas.

“…The case of localism in Western European radio offers an interesting and useful context for this discussion. The public service model's influence in communication policymakingthere resulted in a bias toward national control and protectionism, at the expense of local access and control (McCain & Lowe, 1990). However, many listeners tuned to unlicensed "pirate" radio stations that "boarded" the airwaves in the 1960s and 1970s in response to popular discontent with national services and demand for access (Boyd, 1986).…”

“…McCain and Lowe (1990) have noted the emergent body of scholarship addressing these issues in the context of Western European broadcasting. More study of the U.S. experience would be useful to highlight the historical ambiguities of the FCC's reliance upon the localism doctrine, and to elaborate the concepts of spatial versus social localism Winter 1994 29 posited here.…”

“…"Local" was conceived there in spatial and social terms. In Western Europe the spatial conception drove the creation of "National Local Radio," in which national services operate local stations that preempt the national signal occasionally for local programs, such as newscasts (McCain & Lowe, 1990). However, social conceptions of localism underlay the development of "Independent Local Radio," which is generally commercial and privately owned.…”

This article, which is based on a focused synthesis of a range of historical, political, policy, regulatory and other factors, proposes a normative policy model for community radio broadcasting in Zambia. It starts with a historical analysis of the factors that have influenced the development of community radio broadcasting in the country, particularly in the period before and after 1991. It is argued that community radio broadcasting in Zambia is largely reflective of the state-centric policy-making regime. This policy-making regime is itself a legacy of British colonialism. The policy proposal put forward in this article is informed by the assumptions of the group and organised anarchy models of policy-making and seeks to promote community radio broadcasting in terms of its vision, regulatory structures, funding, training, technology, production of local content and research.
