  • GMG Radio Response to the Ofcom Consultation on Review of Procedures for Handling Broadcasting Complaints, Investigations and Sanctions
    GMG Radio response to the Ofcom consultation on review of procedures for handling broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions Introduction GMG Radio plc is part of The Guardian Media Group and operates fourteen analogue licences within the UK under the separate Real, Smooth and Rock Radio brands. The company was an inaugural partner and is currently a 35% shareholder in the MXR regional multiplex consortium as well as being a long-term service provider on each of its platforms. GMG Radio is also a founding partner and stakeholder in Digital Radio UK, the body charged with helping prepare the UK for digital switchover. GMG Radio considers regulatory compliance to be a hugely important and crucial element to our overall business operation and welcomes proposals which are genuinely designed to assist in improving standards and enhance understanding of regulatory procedures. We note this consultation seeks stakeholder views on proposed changes to procedures as opposed to responses to specific questions. Current understanding Ofcom has no wish to dilute the current process by which it can diligently follow when investigating breaches of broadcast licences, investigating complaints including those on fairness and privacy issues and the consideration of statutory sanctions for proven breaches. As such this consultation is specifically placed within the public arena in order to enlist stakeholder opinions on planned changes which are ultimately designed to ensure an ongoing commitment to the principles of continued fairness to those directly involved and at the same time introduce new procedures which are clearer, simpler and can be implemented as effectively and efficiently as possible. The consultation documents sets out proposals for new procedures covering the handling of broadcasting complaints, investigations and sanctions and it invites written views and comments on each of them prior to the publishing of a finalized version.

  • 3 Radio and Audio Content 3 3.1 Recent Developments in Scotland
    3 Radio and audio content 3 3.1 Recent developments in Scotland Real Radio Scotland has been rebranded as Heart In February 2014 Capital Scotland was sold to the Irish media holding company, Communicorp. It was sold as part of eight stations divested by Global Radio to satisfy the UK regulatory authorities following the acquisition, two years ago, of GMG Radio from Guardian Media Group. Under a brand licensing agreement, Communicorp has rebranded the 'Real' stations under the 'Heart' franchise and plans to relaunch the 'Smooth' stations following the reintroduction of local programming. Therefore, Real Radio Scotland was rebranded as Heart Scotland in May 2014. XFM Scotland was re-launched by its owners, Global Radio, in March 2014. 3.2 Radio station availability Five new community radio stations are available to listeners in Scotland Scotland’s community radio industry has continued to grow. There are now 23 community stations on air, out of the 31 licences that have been awarded in Scotland. New to air in 2013/14 were East Coast FM, Irvine Beat FM, Crystal Radio, and K107 FM. Irvine Beat FM has received funding from the Lottery Awards for All fund to build a training studio. Nevis Radio, which serves Fort William and the surrounding areas, was originally licensed as a commercial radio service, but having chosen to become a community radio service it was awarded this licence instead, on application. The remaining eight of the most recent round of licence awards are preparing to launch. A licensee has two years from the date of the licence award in which to launch a service.

  • Digital One’S Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future Pricing of Spectrum Used for Terrestrial Broadcasting”
    Digital One’s Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future pricing of spectrum used for terrestrial broadcasting” 1. Digital One operates the UK’s only national commercial DAB digital radio multiplex. Its shareholders are GCap Media (63%) and Arqiva (37%). Digital One’s transmission network (which is operated by Arqiva) is the world’s biggest DAB digital radio network with coverage well in excess of 85% of the British population. Digital One’s multiplex broadcasts: - the three INRs (Classic FM, Virgin Radio and talkSPORT); - four digital-only national stations (Capital Life, Core, Oneword and Planet Rock) with a further station being launched in the next few months; - TV channels and an Electronic Programme Guide broadcast as part of BT Movio. Digital One is a leading stakeholder in the UK’s Digital Radio Development Bureau and the WorldDAB Forum (which is responsible for the DAB digital radio standard and works to coordinate the international roll-out of Eureka 147 based technologies). 2. Digital One is licensed under the 1996 Broadcasting Act, and has licence obligations which help deliver public policy benefits. These limit Digital One’s ability to use the spectrum it has been allocated in the most efficient manner (in economic terms). For example: - the obligation to operate a transmitter network which delivers high population coverage; - the obligation (at the direction of the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport) to carry the three INRs and to offer each INR an amount of capacity dictated by the regulator;

  • 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.
