Ian Lucas MP, speaking at a House of Commons adjournment debate on community radio, said:
"Sheffield Live! is beginning to broadcast today. I wish it all the best; I am sure it will contribute hugely to its community."
"Community radio is one of the Government's great success stories. It was introduced by the Communications Act 2003 and is now governed by the Community Radio Order 2004. Some 148 licences have been awarded under the community radio legislation and at present 85 new stations are broadcasting to provide services to their local communities."
