Hi All,
I'm really looking for your opinions or for someone to explain what may be occurring here.Please look at these radio licencing updates from Ofcom to do with re-licencing Dover/Folkestone(106.8mhz/96.4mhz) and Canterbury(106mhz) all at 100watts erp:

Notice that the licencees are refered too as CTFM Ltd and South East Radio Ltd. However by Ofcoms own published information, declarations of intent appear to have been received from completely different 'licencees' the change obviously occurring within the month, this published today 8/5/2008 at 1052 BST:

Canterbury and Dover/Folkestone
 
Ofcom has received one declaration of intent for each of the Canterbury and Dover/Folkestone local commercial radio licences from the current licensees, KMFM Canterbury Limited and KMFM Folkestone Limited respectively. Ofcom is therefore inviting the incumbent licensees to reapply for the licences under the 'fast-track' procedure as set out in Ofcom's guidelines.

Is there some aspect of business law or radio licencing that I've missed here? Has the office junior at Ofcom made a mistake?
Can licencees change during the time declarations of intent are called for? If they changed;How did they change..?
Please help with your suggestions.I come to you first looking for an explaination.. Thanks,
Jim.
n.b.-of course I had no idea that this was to occur; but you may like to read my posting under 'Brian May&investing in Caroline' thread.
