  • Statement: Global Radio Approved Area Requests
    Global Radio approved area requests For the east, south and west of England STATEMENT Publication Date: 26 February 2019 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. The approved area requests 2 3. Assessment and decision 5 Annex Map of Anglia approved area 9 Map of Meridian approved area 10 Map of South West & Westcountry approved area 11 Global Radio approved area requests 1. Overview Most local analogue commercial radio stations are required to produce a certain number of hours of locally-made programming. Under legislation passed in 2010, these stations are not only able to broadcast their locally-made hours from within their licence area, but may instead broadcast from studios based elsewhere within a larger area approved by Ofcom. These wider areas are known as ‘approved areas’. Stations can also share their local hours of programming with other stations located in the same approved area. In October 2018, Ofcom published a statement1 (the ‘October 2018 Statement’) that introduced, following consultation, a new set of approved areas in England2 to give stations more flexibility in their broadcasting arrangements. We also said that we would consider requests from licensees to create new, bespoke, approved areas, since the statutory framework allows for an approved area in relation to each local analogue service. What we have decided Following consultation, Ofcom has approved three new approved areas which Global Radio has asked Ofcom to create for a number of FM local radio licences it owns. These new approved areas for Global Radio are as follows: • Anglia • Meridian • South West & Westcountry Following this decision, we have also approved a number of Format change requests submitted by Global Radio enabling stations located within these new approved areas to co-locate and share their local programming hours.
