Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee Dee Ford The Scottish Parliament Group Managing Director Radio, UK Edinburgh Bauer EH99 1SP By email Direct Tel: 0131-348-5234 (RNID Typetalk calls welcome) Fax: 0131-348-5088 (Central) Textphone: 0131-348-5415 Email: [email protected] 21 March 2019 Dear Ms Ford, I am writing on behalf of the Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee at the Scottish Parliament. The Committee has been taking evidence on local commercial radio as a result of Global’s announcement on 26 February 2019, that they will soon be reducing their local programming to only three hours per weekday on Heart Scotland, Capital FM Scotland and Smooth Scotland. The Committee recognises that Global has been able to make this change to their schedules as a result of changes made to the Ofcom localness regulations last October. At our meeting on 14 March Will Harding, Chief Strategy Officer, along with Corrie Martin, News Direction, Regions gave evidence on behalf of Global. The written transcript of the session is available at: Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee Official Report, 14 March 2019. The Committee is concerned that Global’s decision may result in similar actions being undertaken by other commercial radio operators in Scotland. To that end, we are now asking other relevant media companies about their intentions for local and regional programming on their stations. Bauer has a significant presence in the commercial radio market in Scotland with well-known stations across the country. I would therefore be grateful if you could provide the Committee with information regarding any impact that the change in localness regulations will have for your stations in Scotland. It would also be helpful to know if Bauer will be making any changes to staff, content or numbers of studios as result of the Ofcom decision of 4 March 2019 to modify the two approved areas for Scotland. The Committee would be grateful to have this information by Friday 5 April. Yours Sincerely, Joan McAlpine MSP Convener Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee .

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.
