School in tune with radio licenceA Lothians high school has been awarded a licence by Ofcom, enabling it to be the first in Britain to have its own community radio station. Pupils at Queensferry High are delighted to have won a five-year public service licence for Jubilee FM, which they will run with local volunteers. They will broadcast music, news and entertainment 24 hours a day to South Queensferry, as well as North Queensferry and parts of Fife. Station director Charles Fletcher said: "We're absolutely thrilled. The plan is to launch on St Andrew's Day. "We can now contact the community radio fund, the lottery, and other potential sources of funding. This will be a great way of helping train young journalists how to run a radio station." Jubilee FM was first created six years ago as a part-time venture to cover the annual Ferry Fair in August.
