  • Committee Clerk Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay, CF99 1NA
    Media 10 Task and Finish Group on the future outlook for the media in Wales Response from Town and Country Broadcasting Media 11 11 November 2011 Committee Clerk Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay, CF99 1NA. Submission from Town and Country Broadcasting Limited to The National Assembly for Wales’ Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee inquiry into the future outlook for the media in Wales. Town and Country Broadcasting (TCB) is Wales’ largest commercial radio group with unrivalled experience and success in operating local radio services in Wales. The 2010 Hargreaves Report on Digital Media to the Assembly Government noted; “Radio is an aspect of creative industries which figures too little in the debate about the economic importance of creative industries in Wales.” We agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment and are therefore pleased to be able to make a contribution to the National Assembly’s inquiry into the future of media in Wales and to highlight areas of interest to Welsh citizens in any future UK Communications legislation. In the past decade, whilst local press has declined and many heritage regional TV and radio brands have disappeared, TCB has launched or acquired seven local radio stations and developed them into popular and profitable operations in a dynamic and successful media business. From its original shareholding in Radio Pembrokeshire, we are proud to have grown and to now serve listeners from West Wales to the capital city. Our local services in Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Bridgend are fiercely local, whilst Cardiff-based regional station Nation Radio has developed a considerable following with its distinctive music mix.

  • Digital Britain for Localness Regulation
    The Implications of Digital Britain for Localness Regulation 1. Executive Summary 1.1. UTV Media (GB) is part of UTV Media plc, a leading converged UK and Irish media business with television, radio, internet and publishing interests. Following recent market activity, UTV plc is the UK’s only publicly listed commercial radio operator. 1.2. Against a backdrop of high listener satisfaction with radio, UTV Media (GB) has concluded that striving to switch off AM and FM signals for large radio stations in 2015 is not in the overall interests of listeners. Instead of committing radio to the vision outlined in the government’s ‘Digital Britain’ White Paper, UTV Media (GB) believes that the medium’s future success depends on embracing a multi-platform ecology which includes DAB but delivers radio output to listeners on their terms. 1.3. In this context, UTV agrees that local commercial radio is in need of further regulatory relief but proposes that this should be assessed independently of the proposed ‘digital upgrade’ and associated legislative change. We propose that the priority for localness deregulation should be to deliver maximum operating flexibility for smaller stations. This is in light of the challenging profitability and sustainability issues facing these services. 1.4. As well as reforming regulation, we believe that Ofcom and government should set out longer-term radio licensing plans for existing local and national services and so enable licensees to plan and invest for the future. In relation to the three ‘INR’ licences, currently held by talkSPORT, Classic FM and Absolute Radio, we do not support their extension in the context of an AM and FM switch-off for large radio stations in 2015.

Purpose 3 2. Definition 3 3. General 3 4. Considerations – Pupils 3 5. Considerations – Employees 4 6. Procedure for Schools 4 Appendix 1 – Flowchart of Procedure 2 Cyngor Sir Powys County Council Inclement Weather Policy for Schools 1. Purpose 1.1 This document clarifies Powys County Council’s policy in relation to the impact on schools and the requirement for employees to attend work during severe or inclement weather. Its purpose is to: ensure the safety and wellbeing of all pupils and employees should a school have to deal with severe, inclement weather; and ensure that all employees are clear about their roles and responsibilities in the event of severe weather. 2. Definition 2.1 Inclement weather can be defined as snow, ice, fog and floods, which render journeys extremely hazardous. 2.2 ‘Extremely hazardous’ includes those conditions in which the police and/or appropriate motoring organisations advise people not to make unnecessary journeys (which do not include travelling to work) or indeed travel at all. 3. General 3.1 The decision to close a school should not be taken lightly. The responsibility for deciding to close a school because of severe inclement weather lies with the Headteacher, in consultation with the Chair of Governors, as the Headteacher must make the decision in the light of local circumstances. The safety of individual employees who may need to travel further than pupils should also be considered when decisions are made.
