II ABSTRACT Title: The Evolution of British Asian Radio in England: 1960 – 2004 Author: Gloria Khamkar This doctoral research examines the evolution of British Asian radio in England from 1960 to 2004. During the post-war period an Asian community started migrating to Britain to seek employment as a result of the industrial labour shortage. The BBC and the independent local radio sector tried to cater to this newly arrived migrant community through its radio output either in their mother tongue or in the English language. Later, this Asian community started its own separate radio services. This research project explores this transformation of Asian radio, from broadcasting radio programmes for the Asian community on existing radio stations, to the creation of independent local and community radio stations, catering to the Asian community exclusively in England. Existing research concentrates on the stereotype images and lack of representation of Asian community on the British radio; it lacks a comprehensive overview of the role of radio during the settlement period of the newly migrant Asian community.

  • Global-GMG Merger Inquiry: Appendices and Glossary
    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry 1. On 11 October 2012, the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger, the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Global Radio Holdings Limited have ceased to be distinct from enterprises previously carried on by or under the control of GMG Radio Holdings Limited; and (ii) as a result, the conditions specified in section 23(4) of the Act will prevail, or will prevail to a greater extent, with respect to the supply of commercial radio based on listening hours in the UK and the supply of radio advertising services in London, the West Midlands, the East Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, the North East, Central Scotland, South Wales and North Wales; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of non-contracted radio advertising services in North Wales, the East Midlands, South Yorkshire and Cardiff. 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 27 March 2013, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods and services.

It places the sector within an historical context dominated by the BBC and strongly influenced by the subsequent arrival of commercial radio broadcasting. Understanding this historical context, which includes consideration of the role played by unlicensed 'pirate' radio operators, is, in the opinion of the author, a critical prerequisite necessary for assessing how and why current Community Radio practice has developed in the way it has. Primary research for this thesis includes a variety of semi-structured interviews with campaigners, practitioners and regulators and, whilst primarily focused on the emergence of the Community Radio sector within the British context, it does not ignore wider international perspectives.

Over the past decade, the UK community radio sector has grown from a handful of experimental broadcasters to encompass a diverse range of some 200 services. By comparison with other types of broadcast radio in the UK, these services are heavily regulated with a variety of requirements being places upon their structures, inputs, processes and outputs. The process by which community radio regulation was developed has underpinned its subsequent acceptance by the sector. Most importantly, current UK community radio regulation was developed in conjunction with representatives of the sector and the fifteen experimental stations launched in 2001 / 2002. The paper considers the relatively 'light touch' regulation of the country's commercial radio sector and the ways in which the new 'Third Tier' impacts on existing mainstream providers, in particular the BBC.

At the same time, radio is primarily a local experience. This research examines the phenomenon of community radio through case studies in Britain and the United States. The contested site of audio broadcasting lies beyond the national framework via new technologies and, at the same time, is rooted locally. The political impetus for this project emerges out of the current media reform movements in both countries for the expansion of low power community radio and their connection to broader concerns around media democracy and pluralism.
