Having failed to sustain itself as a standalone operation under previous ownership, the station now benefits from the expertise and backing of a parent group which is committed to local radio. By sharing operations across four neighbouring licence areas, Signal 107 generates economies of scale which are crucial to its long-term viability. Following Signal 107’s recent success in retaining its Wolverhampton licence, this application seeks to secure the station’s tailored service for Telford until 2027. Telford is a vibrant town with a rich industrial heritage and strong local identity. Its residents deserve their own local radio station and this is what Signal 107 delivers. If re-awarded this licence for a further 12 years, Signal 107 is committed to delivering: • High-quality programming with a strong local focus on Telford; • A platform for community engagement involving a range of local partners; • Music output with broad appeal to local listeners; • Targeted local advertising opportunities for local businesses. Our ability to offer this high quality local service draws upon a number of unique strengths: • Signal 107’s existing strong standing amongst Telford listeners, advertisers and community groups; • Our experienced local management team, who boast unrivalled local knowledge and relationships; • The financial backing of a stable and successful parent group; • Centralised group support which enables station staff to focus on local programming and revenue generation. Since launching as the Telford FM in 1999, and following its re-launch as Signal 107 in 2012, the station has sought to enhance and enrich the lives of local people in Telford. Our consumer research and letters of support from the local community demonstrate that we are succeeding in this mission. By re-awarding this licence to Signal 107, Ofcom can ensure that Telford continues to enjoy these benefits for a further 12 years. 3 Section 105(A): Ability to maintain proposed service 1.

  • Terms & Definitions Used in the Reports
    Terms & Definitions Used In The Reports REACH (Average Weekday Yesterday Listenership) ° Reach is about PEOPLE. ° The size of audience “reached” by radio in general (Any Radio) or by a specific station. This question measures the number of people who have an “opportunity to hear” an ad on a radio station. ° Reach can also be described as = the number of people who listened/tuned into a station yesterday (average day). It doesn’t matter if they tuned in for 2 minutes or for 2 hours – everyone who listened is counted here. ° Remember: Yesterday = Average Day WEEKLY REACH ° Weekly reach is the sum of “yesterday listening” plus “past week listening”. (It is not based on the sum of 7 days listening as our methodology is not diary based). MARKET SHARE (Minutes Listened). ° Share is about MINUTES – it measures a station’s share of all minutes listened to Irish Commercial Radio. ° If, for example, a respondent listened to two ¼ hour periods, this is calculated as 30 minutes. Each respondent’s listening activity is calculated and added together in this manner, resulting in a TOTAL number of minutes listened per day. ° Station share is then calculated based on the number of minutes listened to Station A vs. Station B. The market share table therefore will always add up to 100%. ° The share analysis is broken out into 3 time periods – share of minutes listened 7am-7pm, 7pm-midnight, and 7am-midnight. ° Market share is a better measure of loyalty as it shows the depth of listening to a station.
