  • 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.

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.

    e-mail: [email protected] Date: Friday 29 June 2018 Dear Member KENT AND MEDWAY STROKE REVIEW JOINT HEALTH OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE - THURSDAY, 5 JULY 2018 I am now able to enclose, for consideration at next Thursday, 5 July 2018 meeting of the Kent and Medway Stroke Review Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee, the following report(s) that were unavailable when the agenda was published. Agenda Item 6d Stroke Review Post-Consultation Update (Pages 3 - 182) . Stroke Consultation Analysis Report (Pages 3 - 142) . Stroke Consultation Activity Report (Pages 143 - 182) These reports have been added to the agenda, because it is anticipated that the Chair of the Committee, once appointed, will agree that they should be considered at this meeting as a matter of urgency, as permitted under section 100B of the Local Government Act 1972. This is to enable the Committee to consider the reports and to avoid any possible delay in this. The reports were not available for despatch as part of the main agenda on 27 June 2018 as they required consideration at an NHS Committee which took place on 28 June 2018.

  • Capital Birmingham Should Not Be Allowed to Make the Changes to The
    Spence, Mr Consultation question: Should regional radio station Capital FM (Birmingham) be permitted to make the changes to its Character of Service as proposed with particular regard to the statutory criteria as set out in the summary? (The Broadcasting Act 1990 Section 106 (1A) (b) and (d) relating to Format changes). Capital Birmingham should not be allowed to make the changes to the Character of Service as this would essentially change the station from am urban/black music station to a hit music station format which can potentially stop playing urban music if they wanted to if in the future it becomes less mainstream. The format change represents a real danger to the radio landscape in Birmingham as it can so significantly reduce the choice of music available in the area over time. It will make the station sound too similar to it's main competitors in the area on FM. I am not happy with the decision in particular to remove the commitment to listeners of African or Afro-Caribbean origin in terms of content and music. I do not believe the music output of Capital Birmingham should be allowed to be aligned to that of Yorkshire or London without a readvertisement of the license as the change requested is far too significant. I believe that the format must retain the words 'URBAN CONTEMPORARY BLACK MUSIC' and 'REGGAE, RnB AND HIP HOP' in order to be an acceptable request. The new requested format is already provided in much better quality by BBC Radio 1. I am not happy with the way the station has been allowed to gradually change from Choice FM in the mid 90s to the present day Capital FM with such a dramatic change in music output despite only slight changes to the official OFCOM agreed station format, while Choice London and Capital FM co-exist in London providing 2 very different sounding services.

  • Localness on Commercial Radio Full Name Erzsebet “Erzsie” Nagy Contact Phone Number N/A Representing (Delete As Appropriate) Self Organisation Name N/A
    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.
