Would that be acceptable on say the BBC or any other station. Yes i agree that there is a place for this type of content, But they cant say its right for mainstream radio, Can they? They had the chance to apply for a licence last year. They did not apply."

A RADIO station operated from a house in Cheddon Road, Taunton has been closed down.

Rage FM, which broadcast on 100.6fm, was raided by Ofcom officials last week.

Equipment was confiscated, but no arrests were made.

After the raid a station listener told the County Gazette: “A lot of people in the street I’ve spoken to are shocked and surprised.

“They thought the station sounded professional and would regularly air local information, and it had a very alternative music format not provided by other stations.
