Jones* The regulation of commercial radio broadcasting in the United Kingdom is about to enter a period of rapid change. The Govern- ment is committed to increasing the number of commercial radio sta- tions and to a measure of deregulation. Legislation to effect these changes is expected in the near future. Up to the present time, an independent agency, the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA or Authority), has strictly regulated commercial radio broadcasting.' Commercial radio services have been restricted to those of a "local" character.2 This regulation of Independent Local Radio (ILR) is generally regarded to have been a failure, and the IBA's effectiveness as a regulatory agency has been called into question on numerous occasions.

  • 3 Radio and Audio Content 3 3.1 Recent Developments in Scotland
    3 Radio and audio content 3 3.1 Recent developments in Scotland Real Radio Scotland has been rebranded as Heart In February 2014 Capital Scotland was sold to the Irish media holding company, Communicorp. It was sold as part of eight stations divested by Global Radio to satisfy the UK regulatory authorities following the acquisition, two years ago, of GMG Radio from Guardian Media Group. Under a brand licensing agreement, Communicorp has rebranded the 'Real' stations under the 'Heart' franchise and plans to relaunch the 'Smooth' stations following the reintroduction of local programming. Therefore, Real Radio Scotland was rebranded as Heart Scotland in May 2014. XFM Scotland was re-launched by its owners, Global Radio, in March 2014. 3.2 Radio station availability Five new community radio stations are available to listeners in Scotland Scotland’s community radio industry has continued to grow. There are now 23 community stations on air, out of the 31 licences that have been awarded in Scotland. New to air in 2013/14 were East Coast FM, Irvine Beat FM, Crystal Radio, and K107 FM. Irvine Beat FM has received funding from the Lottery Awards for All fund to build a training studio. Nevis Radio, which serves Fort William and the surrounding areas, was originally licensed as a commercial radio service, but having chosen to become a community radio service it was awarded this licence instead, on application. The remaining eight of the most recent round of licence awards are preparing to launch. A licensee has two years from the date of the licence award in which to launch a service.

  • Review of BBC Local Radio Report Prepared for BBC Management
    Review of BBC Local Radio Report prepared for BBC Management John Myers February, 2012 Myers review of BBC Local Radio - January 2012 Preface In November 2011, I was asked by BBC management to review the operations of BBC Local Radio. The brief was to examine the working practices of the local radio network, to investigate areas of possible savings without impacting the on-air performance and review the current levels of management and back office staff. This work was conducted over a short period of time and therefore my findings can only be considered to be an overview. Furthermore, this is my personal opinion based on what I have learned and is certainly not meant to be a detailed cost analysis of each station or the network as a whole which would require extensive and detailed work to be carried out over a longer period of time. In addition, the savings are approximate totals and are not meant to be precise. While my task was not to review content specifically, I did so if I felt it impacted on the cost of running local radio or where it provides context, colour or background to a particular point. Where practical, I have offered a solution to any issues uncovered if it is not contained within my main findings and recommendations. The review was carried out between the 11th November and the 9th December respectively and nine stations were visited within the network portfolio. These were Cumbria, Essex, Merseyside, Shropshire, Nottingham, Tees, Manchester, Oxford and BBC Sussex and Surrey. I was assisted in this task by the BBC‟s Policy and Strategy team.
