Oxford's Fm107.9 OXFORD’S FM107.9 Request to change Format Consultation Publication date: 19 February 2010 Closing Date for Responses: 19 March 2010 Format change request – Oxford’s FM 107.9 Contents Section Page 1 Summary 2 2 Background 4 Annex Page 1 Responding to this consultation 5 2 Ofcom’s consultation principles 7 3 Consultation response cover sheet 8 4 Consultation question 10 5 Oxford’s FM 107.9 request for a change of Format 11 6 COMMERCIAL RADIO STATION (PRESENT) FORMAT 25 7 Other Commercial and community radio stations operating in the Oxford area 26 1 Format change request – Oxford’s FM 107.9 Section 1 1 Summary 1.1 Ofcom has received a request from Passion Radio Oxford (PRO) to change the Format of Oxford’s FM 107.9. The station is currently a “voice for the young” with a requirement to deliver the sort of cutting-edge and credible music that would be appreciated by Oxford’s students and youth community. PRO wishes to change the character of the station to become an easy listening station targeted at an older audience of over 45’s. Current Format THE STATION WILL BE THE VOICE FOR YOUNG OXFORD THROUGH A MIX OF PRIMARILY NEW, ‘CUTTING EDGE’ AND CREDIBLE CHART MUSIC (eg URBAN, DANCE AND ALTERNATIVE) WITH NEWS, PHONE-INS, INFORMATION AND YOUTH CULTURE FEATURES TARGETING 15-29s IN THE CITY. Proposed Format THE STATION WILL BE THE VOICE FOR OXFORD THROUGH A MIX OF EASY- LISTENING SOFT MUSIC AIMED AT 45+ ADULTS WITH LOCAL NEWS, PHONE-INS, LOCAL INFORMATION AND CULTURE FEATURES TARGETING THE CITY 1.2 Ofcom has published guidelines with regard to criteria that will be considered when stations request a change of Format. 1.3 If a station wants to make changes that will substantially alter the character of its service, Ofcom consults publicly before coming to a decision. In this case the request would, if granted, substantially alter the character of the station’s service. 1.4 Ofcom must consider the request by the station to change its Format against the statutory criteria set out in the legislation below, and the consultation question, at Annex 4, reflects that. Ofcom has the ability to consent to such changes under conditions included in the Oxford’s FM 107.9 licence, in accordance with Sections 106 (1A) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 if it is satisfied that at least one of the following criteria is satisfied: (a) The departure would not substantially alter the character of the service (b) The change would not narrow the range of programmes available in the area by way of relevant independent radio services (c) The change would be conducive to the maintenance or promotion of fair and effective competition or (d) There is evidence that, amongst persons living in the affected areas, there is a significant demand for, or significant support for, the change. 2 Format change request – Oxford’s FM 107.9 1.5 In this case, the change of character would be stark, and criterion (a) above is not satisfied. So, the changes can only be approved if one of criteria (b) to (d) is satisfied. In these circumstances Ofcom is required to carry out a public consultation. 1.6 In particular, when considering whether criterion (b) is satisfied (the change would not narrow the range of programmes available in the area by way of relevant independent radio services), neither local DAB services nor BBC services ‘count’ as relevant independent radio services. The relevant independent radio services are those local analogue commercial which operate in the region, which are listed in Annex 7. (There are no operational community stations in the area.) 1.7 Even if Ofcom is satisfied that the proposed change would meet one of these statutory criteria, Ofcom still has discretion as to whether to agree to the change. Ofcom has published guidance about how it generally expects to exercise its discretion. The guidance is attached to this paper at Annex 8 and is at : http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radio/ifi/rbl/formats/formats/fc/changeregs/ 1.8 Ofcom, therefore, seeks views on the requests, having particular regard to the Broadcasting Act 1990 Section 106 (1A) (b) (c) and/or (d), as set out above. 1.9 Annex 5 contains the Format change request, in which an argument is made that over 45’s are underserved, that there is a call for such a service and that targeting a student audience will never be commercially viable because it is transient and unlikely to be RAJAR diary-friendly. 1.10 Other commercially sensitive information has been provided in confidence to Ofcom, and will be taken into account by Ofcom in coming to a decision. 3 Format change request – Oxford’s FM 107.9 Section 2 2 Background 2.1 A small-scale licence was awarded by the Radio Authority in late 1996 and launched, as Oxygen FM, in February 1997, as a very student-oriented station. Its Measured Coverage Area is 214,000. 2.2 It has never been successful financially, and it was sold and re-launched as Fusion FM and again as Passion FM, before being bought by PRO and re-named Oxford’s FM 107.9 in June 2006. Its present, new-style Format is attached as Annex 6. 2.3 PRO also own the Jack FM licence, which covers Oxford and South Oxfordshire with a Format delivering pop and rock for the over 35s. The stations share studios. 2.4 The third commercial station available in the area is Heart (formerly Fox FM), which covers a wider area (Oxford and Banbury) with chart and contemporary music for under 44s. 2.5 PRO proposes a station that serves over 45’s with the sort of melodic Format that has become associated with Smooth FM ; a service aimed at older audiences but focusing on slightly more contemporary artists (eg Susan Boyle, George Benson and the like) than Saga Radio, Smooth’s predecessor in the Midlands. 4 Format change request – Oxford’s FM 107.9 Annex 1 1 Responding to this consultation How to respond A1.1 Ofcom invites written views and comments on the issues raised in this document, to be made by 5pm on 19 March 2010.

    Oliveira, M.; Portela, P. & Santos, L.A. (eds.) (2012) Radio Evolution: Conference Proceedings September, 14-16, 2011, Braga, University of Minho: Communication and Society Research Centre ISBN 978-989-97244-9-5 Live and local no more? Listening communities and globalising trends in the ownership and production of local radio 1 GUY STARKEY University of Sunderland [email protected] Abstract: This paper considers the trend in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world for locally- owned, locally-originated and locally-accountable commercial radio stations to fall into the hands of national and even international media groups that disadvantage the communities from which they seek to profit, by removing from them a means of cultural expression. In essence, localness in local radio is an endangered species, even though it is a relatively recent phenomenon. Lighter- touch regulation also means increasing automation, so live presentation is under threat, too. By tracing the early development of local radio through ideologically-charged debates around public-service broadcasting and the fitness of the private sector to exploit scarce resources, to present-day digital environments in which traditional rationales for regulation on ownership and content have become increasingly challenged, the paper also speculates on future developments in local radio. The paper situates developments in the radio industry within wider contexts in the rapidly-evolving, post-McLuhan mediatised world of the twenty-first century. It draws on research carried out between July 2009 and January 2011for the new book, Local Radio, Going Global, published in December 2011 by Palgrave Macmillan. Keywords: radio, local, public service broadcasting, community radio Introduction: distinctiveness and homogenisation This paper is mainly concerned with the rise and fall of localness in local radio in a single country, the United Kingdom.

  • The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio
    - 1 - Risk and Reward - The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio by Patrick Woodward Submitted for the degree of MA (Mass Communications) 2006 14,377 words - 2 - Dissertation abstract This dissertation traces developments in commercial radio in the UK from its inception in the 1930’s up to the present day. The author examines the struggles faced by the industry, initially against prejudice on the part of the BBC and government, and more recently the twin challenges of financial pressure and new technology which threaten its future. In following the progress of UK commercial radio for most of the 20th century and a small part of the 21st, the author explores how changes in wider society have prompted, and sometimes have been prompted by, developments in commercial radio. Finally he asks whether commercial radio can survive in the 21st century. - 3 - Acknowledgements I would like to thank my tutor, Simon Cross, for his invaluable help and advice in the development of this dissertation, and for his helpful comments throughout the course. I would also like to thank those who allowed me to interview them for this dissertation, and my employers, Revival Media, for allowing me the time to undertake the course. I would also like to thank my wife, Gillian, for her support. I could not have completed this dissertation without such support, but of course the final responsibility for what follows is mine. - 4 - Risk and Reward - The Challenges and Triumphs of UK Commercial Radio Chapter 1 Introduction – the power and influence of radio This is a study of commercial radio in the UK, from its origins in the early 20th century, through to its challenges in the early 21st.
