NLive Radio has launched a fundraising appeal as it prepares to become an independent community organisation. NLive Radio has been supported by the university since its launch in 2016, but due to changes in higher education funding, it will now prioritise spending on educational delivery and student experience. NLive Radio is encouraging both one-off donations and small monthly contributions to help create a sustainable future. she added that the station now needs Northampton’s help to secure the future of local radio. Ofcom has recently granted NLive Radio a five-year licence extension, allowing it to broadcast until 2031, but the station says community support is now needed for its continued operation.
