  • Localness on Commercial Radio Full Name Erzsebet “Erzsie” Nagy Contact Phone Number N/A Representing (Delete As Appropriate) Self Organisation Name N/A
    Consultation response form Consultation title Localness on commercial radio Full name Erzsebet “Erzsie” Nagy Contact phone number N/A Representing (delete as appropriate) Self Organisation name N/A Your response Question Your response Question 1: Do you agree that Ofcom’s duty to secure ‘localness’ on local commercial radio Before I write anything, I should state that I am stations could be satisfied if stations were able a U.S. citizen and do not reside in the United to reduce the amount of locally-made Kingdom or have British citizenship, but have programming they provide? If not, please visited occasionally and know of people in the explain the reasons and/or evidence which UK. support your view. There was nothing in the Ofcom rules that stated a U.S. citizen could not participate, so I have decided to participate anyway. All content is original research. ---- Localness should never be reduced on local commercial radio stations. There is research to back this up, proven by statistical research from 2008-2014. There is substantial research that proves listeners value local content to some extent, and not just in major circumstances like floods, terrorist attacks, fire, major emergencies. Rather than reducing local-made programming, some radio stations should be, by statutory requirement, have as much local programming and content as necessary. There is substantial evidence from American researchers – 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014 that proved listeners value locality as a major selling point. Unofficial research in 2007 has proved this. No station should be local for only 3 hours a day, whatever the day of week.

  • CMR WAL Radio
    3 Radio and audio content 3 3.1 Recent developments in Wales The local digital multiplex for North West Wales has launched In December 2014, the local digital multiplex for North West Wales was launched, broadcasting BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales, Capital FM, Smooth Radio, Nation Radio, and Nation Hits from transmitters at Arfon and Conwy to a potential audience of 100,000 listeners. Due to international frequency constraints, each of the transmitters are on two separate frequencies, with Arfon on 10D and Conwy on 12D. Some car radios may have trouble switching dynamically between the two transmitters; a work-around is for users to set two pre-sets for each of their favourite stations, one for each transmitter. Further transmitters may be launched in mid-2016 at Gwaenysgor, Holyhead South Stack, Llanddona, Nebo and Penmaen Rhos. These would increase local DAB coverage to almost 70% of the population in North West Wales. Prior to launch, MuxCo was informed by Global Radio that it did not want both of its local Capital FM services carried on the multiplex. The Capital FM (North Wales Coast) service is carried, but the Capital FM (Caernarfon) service, which broadcasts more programming in Welsh, is not. Changes in commercial radio broadcasting Local commercial station Radio Hafren, which held the local commercial licence for Montgomeryshire, ceased broadcasting on 11 February. There are no current plans to re- advertise the licence. In April 2015, Heart North Wales ceased broadcasting on the Wrexham, Chester and Liverpool local digital multiplex. Listeners will be able to keep listening to Heart North Wales by tuning to FM or listening online.

    3 Radio and audio content 3 3.1 Recent developments in Wales Re-branding of commercial radio stations in Wales In May 2013, the Competition Commission decided that Global Radio must sell radio stations in seven areas of the UK, including Cardiff and North Wales, following its completed acquisition of GMG Radio (re-named Real and Smooth Ltd) from Guardian Media Group. Communicorp purchased eight radio stations from Global Radio in February 2014 including Capital South Wales and Real Radio North Wales. 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. Heart South Wales and Heart North Wales (formerly Real Radio Wales) launched on 6 May 2014 under two separate licences, effectively restoring a regional service to both areas. The South Wales station shares studio facilities with the Communicorp-owned Capital South Wales in Cardiff Bay. Global has rebranded the existing Heart licences under the Capital franchise, with Capital Cymru and Capital North West and Wales launched on 6 May 2014. 3.2 Radio service availability New multiplexes boost DAB availability for Wales A new DAB multiplex serving north-east Wales and west Cheshire began transmission in April 2013. This added the former Real Radio Wales, Nation Radio, Dee on DAB, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, and 107.6 Juice FM to the digital services available. A further DAB multiplex for mid and west Wales launched in August 2013 carrying Radio Pembrokeshire, Radio Carmarthenshire, Nation Hits, Nation Radio, Real Radio (now Heart), BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru.
