Response to the Ofcom Document: Licensing Local Television Response to the Ofcom document: Licensing Local Television March 19th 2012 The University of Bedfordshire would like to make the following points in response to the Ofcom proposals for licensing Local TV in the UK – as outlined in its December 2011 consultation document. Question A4.2: “Are the 20 proposed locations in our minimum roll-out list the right ones?” The University has argued that Luton should have a Local TV channel – and that such a channel would have many positive benefits (as listed in our reply to A4.3). We were disappointed that Luton was not included in the first phase. However, we regard this as a long term project, and can see advantages in being included in the second phase – in terms of the extra time it gives us to look at the various points involved, including content, transmitter, and business modelling issues. Question A4.3: “Consultation question: are the 24 locations the ones, from our list of 65 sites where local TV is technically possible, where there is a demand from local service operators? Should any locations be added to, or subtracted from, this list?” With reference to Question A4.3, we would argue that Luton should continue to be included in the second phase list of 24 locations. We would also argue that serious consideration needs to be given to extending the definition of Luton to include Dunstable and Houghton Regis since both in public administration terms and at a social level these are part of the Luton community. It is anticipated that the Boundary Commission will shortly be redrawing the boundaries of Luton’s Parliamentary constituencies to reflect this. To support this argument, we would like to summarise the key points of our submission to DCMS last year: a) Luton would benefit enormously from the focal point that local television would bring. Luton-based ‘local’ radio, for instance, is in fact regional. BBC Three Counties Radio, and its commercial counterpart, Heart, both serve Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. b) Luton already has an active community media sector. 1 This sector includes two radio stations, a community local radio station Diverse FM and one of which is run by this University called Radio LaB, and a web operation called local-news.tv. c) Luton is a very ‘newsy’ area. It has big employers – the University, Vauxhall and Northern and Shell publishers of the Express newspaper. It has strong communications – including the London Luton airport. And it also has a rich diversity of ethnic groups, ranging from the Scots and Irish who came to work at Vauxhall in the thirties to the Afro-Caribbean and Asian communities who moved to the area in the sixties and seventies. d) There is widespread support in the Luton community for Local TV. Support for local TV in Luton has come from many areas. In our response to DCMS last year, we included messages of support from the Managing Director of Luton Airport, Glyn Jones, the CEO of the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce, Cheryl Smart, and the two Luton MPs, Kelvin Hopkins and Gavin Shuker. And in a 2011 survey of 105 people in Luton, 90% of 40-60's and 81% of all age groups said they would like a local Freeview TV channel. e) Luton offers a financially stable base. Luton has a thriving commercial centre mixing the headquarters of companies like Vauxhall and Easyjet with a wealth of service companies, retail outlets and a football club. The University of Bedfordshire would like to support Local TV and is interested in it being sited at its new Campus Centre building, which opened in 2010 in the centre of Luton. The University of Bedfordshire is in a strong financial position, having increased income in recent years from £82 million in 2006, to £120 million in 2010. Of this income, about £20 million per year in each of the last four years has been invested for the future of the University. Indeed, a new building for postgraduate and continuing professional development is currently being built on the Luton campus, for completion in 2013 – and this will further enhance our engagement with the media industry. The University is also experienced in joint venture and commercial projects, currently working with more than 5,000 companies, mostly local to the region. 2 f) Involvement of the University of Bedfordshire. The University, situated in the centre of Luton, has invested more than £5 million in its current state-of-the-art TV studios and its academic and technical staff. This could provide the core facility of a new TV station. We also believe that Bedford would make an interesting and lively place for a Local TV channel. It is a newsworthy location, has a definable character and history, and has a number of well-established community organisations. The University has a large campus in Bedford and plays a major role in the life of the local community. The University of Bedfordshire Theatre (with 280 seats) is the largest theatre in Bedford, and hosts many larger productions as well as projects from the university. 4.40: “We would particularly like to hear from those who might wish to apply for an L-DTPS licence to provide a local television service for any of the areas listed. Any such expressions of interest would be non-binding and may be submitted in confidence” With reference to Paragraph 4.37 and 4.40, the University of Bedfordshire continues to be interested in the proposals for Local TV – and is in discussion with a number of organisations about possibly forming a consortium to bid for an L-DTPS licence for Luton. It is also examining the option of applying for a licence for Bedford (see below). Detailed discussions have so far been held with the following Luton and Bedford organisations: a) Diverse 102.8 FM - a Luton based community radio station, broadcasting with an Ofcom radio licence for 5 years, with advertising on the station. http://diversefm.com/dance-and-rnb-radio-online/ b) local-news.tv – a community TV station for Luton and Bedford. www.local-news.tv c) Radio LaB 97.1FM – a community radio station based at the University of Bedfordshire. Radio LaB obtained a community radio licence in 2010, and had approximately 13 years experience of broadcasting with an RSL prior to 2010. http://www.beds.ac.uk/radiolab There is clearly a lot of work to do before applying for a licence: compiling detailed content proposals, developing a long term business model, and creating a formal legal and commercial framework for a possible consortium. We would also need to meet the multiplex company to discuss the particular DTT transmitter issues facing Luton. A further issue for us to examine, as mentioned above, is whether we should be involved in a bid for the Bedford licence. 3 The University has an internationally recognised department of Performing Arts and English at its Bedford campus, which provides major input to the cultural life of Bedford and the surrounding district. In conclusion, we are keen that Luton and Bedford are kept on the phase two list, and we are actively investigating whether to be part of a bid for a Local TV licence. A4.4: “Do you agree with our approach to selecting sites for the second phase of local service licensing: inviting the multiplex applicants to select from the further list of locations where there is demand from potential service providers?” As Luton and Bedford have been included in the second phase list, the University has concerns about the system for selecting cities and towns to be finally included in that list. We understand that Muxco needs to take into account a range of complex technical and commercial factors – but we would argue that there needs to be: a) A clear, transparent and regulated system for finalising the second phase locations. b) A fair and regulated system for allowing appeals or challenges to those decisions. We believe that Ofcom should have a role in both of these areas – and that the decision should not purely be a commercial one. We also note in 4.42 that, “The list of 24 such locations … is subject to consultation, which is to say both the inclusion of the specific locations on the list, and the length of the list itself, will be confirmed following responses to this consultation, and may change”. And that in 4.43, it states that, “We would anticipate that potential multiplex operators will have their own conversations with potential local service providers”. Given this uncertainty, we would also like to argue that the decisions on the second phase list should be made as quickly as possible. It would be unfortunate if organisations are allowed to spend time, resources, and money on continuing to investigate whether to apply for licences for areas which are then taken off the second list. A4.5: “Do you agree with our proposed approach to building out and substituting further areas, in the second phase of licensing?” We note in 4.45 that, “The technical plan proposed by the successful multiplex licence applicant will include a commitment to build out a further number of locations on top of the minimum 20. The multiplex licensee will be held to this further commitment, and these additional locations will be advertised in a second round of L-DTPS licensing.” 4 As with A4.4, the University is concerned about there being a transparent, fair and regulated method of challenging a decision by the successful multiplex licence applicant to leave a particular city or town off the phase two list.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.

  • University Radio Stations Serving the Wider Community, Using Case Studies from the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States
    “YOU’RE IN THE RADIO LAB!” - UNIVERSITY RADIO STATIONS SERVING THE WIDER COMMUNITY, USING CASE STUDIES FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM, AUSTRALIA AND THE UNITED STATES JANEY GORDON UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE PROJECT LEADER RADIO LAB0 Introduction In a number of areas globally,the development of what has come to be known as ‘commu- nity’ radio has occurred in many forums, such as ICT centres, community groups, churches or social clubs. However a number of countries have found universities to be natural hosts for the early development of this type of broadcasting. This has occurred in some areas due to radical political changes, for example in the ex communist country of Hungary (Velics, 2012) or the newly democratised state of Uruguay (Light, 2012), and the university has been regarded as a ‘neutral’ area.In other countries, universities have had a keyplace in the development, formation and sustainability of this sector of broadcasting, notably the United States, Australia and latterly the United Kingdom. Community radio may be seen as a natural development of what happens in universities anyway, - experimentation into the physics of broadcasting, a commitment by politically active academics and students to use radio to provide alternative views and culture to the mainstream media andthe enhancement of education using broadcasting technologies. There are also pragmatic reasons for universities to host community radio stations. A uni- versity is a semi-public site, the university authorities can welcome external visitors but also provide some restrictions and security to access if needed. A university frequently occupies large premises that may be able to find space for a fledgling community radio station and its volunte- ers.
