GEM 106 (East Midlands) Section 355 Review of Output: GEM 106 (East Midlands) 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. In May 2016, a change of control took place at Orion Media Limited, which was the parent company of the licence holding subsidiaries shown in the table below. Orion Media Holdings Limited is now owned by Bauer Radio Limited, which previously had no shareholding. Bauer Radio Limited’s named directors are Paul Keenan, Deidre Ford and Sarah Vickery. The parent company to Bauer Radio Limited is UK unlimited company HBVB. In consideration of the three matters listed above, this review carried out under section 355 is only in relation to the station(s) highlighted in this table. Separate reviews consider the licensed services not highlighted. All stations listed were subsidiaries of Orion Media Holdings Limited. Company Licence no.

Annex 2 is the licensee’s completed Review of Output, which summarises the output of this service. In reviewing the station’s output prior to the change of control, it was noted that the licensee was required to provide a 'full service' radio station. Further requirements were for the radio station to broadcast locally-made programming, including local material, for at least seven hours during each weekday daytime2 and for at least four hours during daytime on each of Saturday and Sunday. With the exception of two programmes (Jo and Sparky Show – Saturday 0900-1300 and the Vodafone Big Top 40 – Sundays 1600-1900) all of GEM 106's output was made in studios in the East Midlands licensed area. The Format also required the station to provide local news bulletins (i.e. bulletins containing local news stories) at least hourly during daytime on weekdays and at peaktime on each of Saturday and Sunday. On weekdays bulletins at 0600, 0700, 0800 & 0900 and 1600, 1700, 1800 & 1900 of two minutes’ duration were broadcast. These contained, typically, two local news stories one with audio. All stories were fully-formed and directly relevant to the interests and concerns of listeners in the East Midlands area. Additional bulletins at 0630, 0730 & 0830 and on the hour between 1000 and 1500 inclusive, were of 60 seconds duration. These contained shorter versions of the main news stories. In addition, two 20 seconds 'news teasers' were broadcast at 1740 and 1840. At weekends bulletins containing local news were broadcast on the hour between 0700 and 1300 inclusive were of 90 seconds duration. The weekday news bulletins aired between 0600 and 1000 were compiled, produced and presented by a journalist based in Nottingham, while weekday bulletins between 1100 and 1900 comprised stories produced by journalists based in Nottingham but compiled and presented by a reader in studios in Birmingham. Weekend bulletins between 0700 and 1300 were presented by journalists based in either Nottingham or Birmingham. All bulletins were unique to the radio station. GEM 106 employs two journalists, both of whom are based in Nottingham. Other local material broadcast by GEM 106 included local traffic and travel news, which was broadcast weekdays every 15 minutes between 0600 and 0900 and every 20 minutes between 1500 and 1900, and at weekends hourly between 0900 and 1400. On the days monitored, traffic and travel bulletins were typically of between 10-20 seconds duration. Local weather updates were broadcast hourly at the end of the news bulletins between 0600 and 1700. Locally-made programmes contained listener interaction e.g. through listeners phoning in to the breakfast show, while within presenter links, reference was made to different aspects of the local area such as, on one of the days monitored, the impact of an unseasonably cold snap on the locality. The combination of news, traffic and travel and other information, together with both the frequency and amount of airtime allocated to these elements and the level of locally- produced material broadcast, were consistent with the Format requirements to deliver a 'full service' radio station. As noted above, GEM 106's Format requires it to broadcast 'mainstream popular music' that would appeal to 25-44 year-olds. When monitored, among the songs played on this station, those listed below satisfactorily met this term. 2 0600 - 1900 Title Artist Michael Jackson The Way You Make Me Feel James Sit Down Sia feat. Sean Paul Cheap Thrills Carly Rae Jepsen Call Me Maybe Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne Real Love Lukas Graham 7 Years Olly Murs feat. Rizzle Kicks Heart Skips A Beat Natalie Imbruglia Torn Prince 1999 Two themed programmes playing songs selected by tempo from the 1980s were broadcast. GEM Anthems is broadcast Fridays at 1800 and 2200 and Saturdays commencing at 1700 and Sundays at 1900, and GEM Wind Down is broadcast between 1900 and 2200 Monday to Thursday and commencing at 2200 on Fridays and Sundays. The new owner’s plans The new owner of this licence proposes to provide news bulletins containing local news in line with the Format minimum. The duration of locally-made programmes (eight hours per weekday and four hours each on Saturdays and Sundays) would exceed the Format requirement by one hour per weekday. Frequent traffic and travel bulletins, and local weather updates (hourly during weekday daytimes) would be broadcast. The new owner plans to add entertainment news bulletins. See Annex 3. These proposals would be compliant with the broadcaster’s localness requirements. Recommended variations to the licence Based on our assessment of the station’s output in the three months prior to the change of control, we do not believe that GEM 106 was broadcasting any programming not already reflected in the existing requirements of the station’s Format which would, in our view, have a significant impact upon: the quality and range of programmes included in the service; the character of the service; and, the extent to which local material and locally-made programmes are included in the service. Therefore, we are not proposing any variations to the licence.

    Cultural Trends, 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09548963.2014.1000591 COMMENTARY 5 Cultural policy in the coalition years: Laissez-faire regulation, the public spending squeeze and the drive to digital Guy Starkey* 10 Centre for Research in Media & Cultural Studies, University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK Introduction Radio, so often described by academics as the “invisible” (Lewis & Booth, 1989), “Cinder- ” – “ ” 15 ella (Halesworth, 1971, pp. 189 191) or even forgotten medium (Pease & Dennis, 1994), has enjoyed a relatively settled period under the coalition government. There has been no crisis of confidence over ethical and legal issues, as exposed in the press by Leveson and the police operations, Elveden, Tuleta and Weeting. There have been few head- line-grabbing (if difficult-to-evaluate) initiatives like local television, as exemplified by London Live or Made in Tyne & Wear, and no government-rocking conflicts of interest as 20 spectacular as that over the ownership of BSkyB. Nor indeed has there been any game-chan- ging reorganisation of public funding, similar to the Arts Council’s lists of winners and losers. Yet, as is so often the case, radio remains a significant, but largely, ignored medium. In terms of government policy, it has suffered mixed fortunes under the five years of the coalition. Official listening figures continue to confirm recent trends in radio’s fortunes. If radio grabs 25 little of the media limelight, it remains a medium with an enviable ubiquity. It may have been slow to win audiences among younger people as large as when it broke new music and pro- vided the kind of escapism sought by youth in the 1960s and 1970s.

As reported in Gem-A News and Views (page Spring 40), we have a lease renewal on our Greville Street premises which will lead to a thorough refurbishment — something which those of you who know the building will agree is much needed. This will provide an excellent opportunity to reinvigorate both our onsite teaching facilities and the services we can offer members. How can we afford this you may ask, when only a very few years 12 ago the Association was in poor health financially? The fact is that over the last few years we have run a very tight ship knowing we had these costs looming. We have focused on what we are good Contents at and the things which are the core aspects of our business. This has led to the ceasing of loss- making operations, such as the laboratory, and an increase in students and thus revenue from our education, though it must be qualified that this increase is from overseas rather than the UK.

    Consultation response form Consultation title Localness on commercial radio Full name Erzsebet “Erzsie” Nagy Contact phone number N/A Representing (delete as appropriate) Self Organisation name N/A Your response Question Your response Question 1: Do you agree that Ofcom’s duty to secure ‘localness’ on local commercial radio Before I write anything, I should state that I am stations could be satisfied if stations were able a U.S. citizen and do not reside in the United to reduce the amount of locally-made Kingdom or have British citizenship, but have programming they provide? If not, please visited occasionally and know of people in the explain the reasons and/or evidence which UK. support your view. There was nothing in the Ofcom rules that stated a U.S. citizen could not participate, so I have decided to participate anyway. All content is original research. ---- Localness should never be reduced on local commercial radio stations. There is research to back this up, proven by statistical research from 2008-2014. There is substantial research that proves listeners value local content to some extent, and not just in major circumstances like floods, terrorist attacks, fire, major emergencies. Rather than reducing local-made programming, some radio stations should be, by statutory requirement, have as much local programming and content as necessary. There is substantial evidence from American researchers – 2004, 2008, 2012, 2014 that proved listeners value locality as a major selling point. Unofficial research in 2007 has proved this. No station should be local for only 3 hours a day, whatever the day of week.

  • "It's Aimed at Kids - the Kid in Everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment by Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
    "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment By Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK When Star Wars was released in May 1977, Time magazine hailed it as "The Year's Best Movie" and characterised the special quality of the film with the statement: "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody" (Anon., 1977). Many film scholars, highly critical of the aesthetic and ideological preoccupations of Star Wars and of contemporary Hollywood cinema in general, have elaborated on the second part in Time magazine's formula. They have argued that Star Wars is indeed aimed at "the kid in everybody", that is it invites adult spectators to regress to an earlier phase in their social and psychic development and to indulge in infantile fantasies of omnipotence and oedipal strife as well as nostalgically returning to an earlier period in history (the 1950s) when they were kids and the world around them could be imagined as a better place. For these scholars, much of post-1977 Hollywood cinema is characterised by such infantilisation, regression and nostalgia (see, for example, Wood, 1985). I will return to this ideological critique at the end of this essay. For now, however, I want to address a different set of questions about production and marketing strategies as well as actual audiences: What about the first part of Time magazine's formula? Was Star Wars aimed at children? If it was, how did it try to appeal to them, and did it succeed? I am going to address these questions first of all by looking forward from 1977 to the status Star Wars has achieved in the popular culture of the late 1990s.
