In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

    Section 355 Review of Output

    Section 355 Review of Output Ridings FM (Wakefield) Publication Date: 15 July 2020 Section 355 Review: Ridings FM Introduction When a local commercial radio licence undergoes a change of control (this includes licence transfer), Ofcom is required, under section 355 of the Communications Act 2003 (‘the Act’), to undertake a review of the effects or likely effects of the change of control in relation to: • the quality and range of programmes included in the service; • the character of the service, and; • the extent to which Ofcom’s duty under section 314 of the Act is performed in relation to the service. Ofcom’s duty under section 314 of the Act relates to securing the inclusion of an appropriate amount of local material, and a suitable proportion of locally-made programmes in the service. Under section 356 of the Act, where it appears to Ofcom from its review that the change of control would be prejudicial to any of the three matters listed above, then it must vary the licence, by including such conditions as it considers appropriate, with a view to ensuring that the relevant change of control is not so prejudicial. In doing so, any new or varied conditions must be such that the licence holder would have satisfied them throughout the three months immediately before the change of control. Ofcom is required to publish a report of its review, setting out its conclusions and any steps it proposes to take under section 356. Where Ofcom proposes to vary the licence, it is required to give the licence holder a reasonable opportunity to make representations about the variation.

    Name and Title Under Which You Would Like This Response to Appear

    Name and title under which you would like this response to appear: Michael Betton, Chief Executive, The Lincs FM Group Representing: The Lincs FM Group What are your comments on these proposals?: RESPONSE TO OFCOM CONSULTATION DOCUMENT - The Future of Radio: The future of FM and AM services and the alignment of analogue and digital regulation - from the Lincs FM Group The Lincs FM Group The Lincs FM Group has grown by application rather than acquisition. It operates Lincs FM (Lincolnshire and Newark), Trax FM (Bassetlaw and Doncaster), Ridings FM (Wakefield), Dearne FM (Barnsley), Compass FM (Grimsby), Rutland Radio, Rother FM (Rotherham) and Fosseway Radio (Hinckley). Lincs FM Group is a programme provider on the Leeds multiplex (simulcasting Ridings FM), on the South Yorkshire Multiplex (simulcasting Trax FM) and the Humberside Multiplex (simulcasting Lincs FM). We have been closely involved in the formulation of the response by RadioCentre to this consultation and are supportive of its recommendations. In our response we confirm our views on the main issues rather than deal in detail with the individual questions posed in the consultation document. Timing of deregulation We believe that the appropriate time for the introduction of content deregulation is now. Connecting deregulation to the uptake of digital radio on a national scale will produce an uncertain timetable for capital investment and longer term planning. Lincs FM Group, in common with almost all commercial radio groupings is already spending significant sums on DAB transmission with little return. Formats We agree that Formats should be simplified to capture the ‘character of service’ and that the detailed descriptions of content are not just unnecessary but stifle creativity and limit an operator’s ability to respond to changing tastes.

  • Frequency Planning Feasibility Study

    Frequency Planning Feasibility Study

    Small scale DAB: Frequency planning feasibility study Technical study: August 2015 Published with minor editorial amendments as Annex 4 to the small scale DAB trials final report: 26 September 2016 Small Scale DAB: Frequency planning feasibility study Summary Ofcom is publishing this study to accompany our final report to Government on the small scale DAB trials. The technical work for this study was carried out during the second half of 2015, and the content of this document reflects the situation at that time. Spectrum requirements for small scale DAB To increase the opportunities for community radio and small scale analogue commercial radio services to join the DAB digital radio platform, ‘small scale DAB’ multiplexes are being considered. UK DAB services are currently provided using spectrum within a part of VHF band III known as ‘sub-band III’1. An initial study, carried out for the Manchester area, concluded that further spectrum beyond that available in sub-band III would be required to provide small scale multiplexes in any future wider roll-out of small scale DAB. What we did This study considers the technical feasibility of such a wider roll-out from a frequency availability and frequency planning perspective. The study contains details of a theoretical small scale DAB network which has been developed solely to assist with producing this feasibility study. These ‘notional’ networks are purely indicative, and more detailed frequency planning, international engagement and internal UK coordination work would be required before practical networks could be deployed. We have identified six frequency blocks from another portion of VHF Band III, known as ‘sub-band II’2 that could potentially be used for small scale DAB.

    Muxco Lincolnshire Limited

    MuxCo Lincolnshire Limited An application to Ofcom for the Lincolnshire local DAB digital radio multiplex Part A – Public Section January 2008 Executive summary Please provide a summary of your application, of no more than four pages in length. MuxCo Lincolnshire Ltd 1. MuxCo Lincolnshire Ltd (for ease of reference ‘MuxCo Lincs’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in Lincolnshire in an efficient and cost effective manner, and to help enable Lincs FM Group to participate fully in DAB digital radio as both an owner and service provider within its home county. 2. The shareholders behind MuxCo Lincs are: • Lincs FM Group Ltd 51% • MuxCo Ltd 49% Each has digital radio experience, through multiplex ownership and/or digital broadcasting. In addition, the MuxCo management team has considerable experience as a multiplex operator, having established and operated a network of 19 local radio multiplexes for GCap Media. It is currently initiating the creation of the MuxCo network, as well as managing UTV’s multiplexes. 3. The ethos of the company is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. MuxCo Lincs will work hard to offer a wide range of broadcast options, such as programme choice, variable bit rates and hours of broadcast, to make DAB as economical as possible to potential service providers. We believe this is the best way to encourage more stations to join the platform and provide a compelling proposition for digital radio listeners. 4. The new multiplex provides an opportunity for smaller and more locally focused operators to increase revenue and to grow their businesses, by broadcasting to a wider area, through serving new audiences with new services and sharing in the benefits of multiplex ownership.
