  The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has today renewed the licence of Gold Coast community station 4CRB, with a change to its community interest so that it now represent seniors in the licence area.
  
  The licensee, Christian and Community Broadcasting Association Ltd, requested the change to its community interest which was previously the general community within the Gold Coast licence area.
  
  ACMA Chairman, Chris Chapman, said that "ACMA is satisfied that 4CRB provides programming aimed at the seniors sector of the community and that it meets the relevant criteria for a community broadcasting service".
  
  "ACMA is charged with promoting the availability of a diverse range of radio services throughout Australia, as well as ensuring that broadcasters meet all their statutory obligations. This decision successfully balances both of these objectives and represents an acceptable outcome to the renewal process", he added.
