Set up by local residents in 2005, 10Radio has been operating for just one month a year under Ofcom's Restricted Service Licence (RSL) scheme. But after going through the formal application process, the station has now been awarded a new five-year licence by the independent regulator, allowing it to broadcast on a daily basis. Speaking to BBC Somerset Sound's Tony Adams, Julian Mellor, the director and co-founder of 10Radio, said: "We're there to provide something unique - it's the local focus that we will bring which will give it that distinctive quality. "We'll be talking about the issues that matter and that are relevant to people living and working in the area."
