  • Hospital Broadcasting Association Rsl Response
    Radio Restricted Services and 55 to 68 MHz A response from the Hospital Broadcasting Association The Hospital Broadcasting Association (HBA) is a registered charity which promotes hospital broadcasting within the UK, supporting approximately 250 independent hospital broadcasting organisations throughout the UK, almost all of which are also registered charities. Over 50 of the current long-term radio restricted service licences (RSLs) are held by hospital radio stations, 27 broadcasting on a freely-radiating AM frequency, 11 broadcasting on a freely-radiating FM frequency and 14 using an AM induction loop. A number of hospital broadcasting stations also utilise short-term RSLs at various times as a means to promote their activities within the local community. The HBA welcomes Ofcom's review of the licensing and regulation of RSLs and audio distribution systems, and the potential use of the 55 to 68MHz frequency band. The HBA has consulted its members, and the following answers to Ofcom's specific questions are the considered opinion of the Executive Committee based upon the responses received from HBA's members. Short-term RSLs Question 1: Do you agree with the proposal to liberalise the restrictions on the issuing of S-RSLs in all areas where a new commercial service is advertised, or where a new commercial or community service is due to be, or has recently been, launched? If you do not agree with this proposal, please set out your preferred alternative explaining why you believe it would be a more appropriate option. The HBA welcomes Ofcom's proposals to reduce the restrictions on the issuing of S-RSLs.

    Introduction to radio Radio is mainly live, presenter-led music and speech based audio entertainment. It now includes other audio formats such as podcasts and streamed music services, so listeners now have more options that ever before and thanks to mobile devices people can listen to almost anything, anywhere, and at any time. Radio continues to grow with 9 out of 10 people - 87.5% - listening to radio every week. Different types of radio There are over 600 radio stations across the UK ranging from BBC and Commercial stations along with lots of local community and hospital stations as well. Radio is usually divided into three main categories: Commercial Radio: these stations make their money through advertising and will have adverts featured throughout the day. Examples of community radio stations include Heart FM, Radio X, or Classic FM. Community Radio: These stations serve certain parts of the country and delivers information to the people living in that particular area. Community stations provide a mix of locally-produced content, representing a diverse mix of cultures and interests. Public Service Radio: A station that provides information and entertainment to the public without trying to make a profit. An example of a public service radio is the BBC. Careers in Radio Over 4,000 passionate and talented individuals make up this unique industry. The Young Audio Awards will showcase your interest and skills in the radio and audio field, and it could also be your first step into the radio and audio industry.
