[cma-l] Broadcasting code and community radio and television - deadline approaching

[Jaqui Devereux]

Dear all

Just to remind you that Ofcom's consultation on amendments to the 
Broadcasting Code closes on 4th September.  It is a long document, but 
there are two main parts that affect community radio, so we urge you to 
respond at least to those questions.

Service Level Agreements and community radio - proposed amendment to 
Section 10, inserting a specific rule on SLAs and our sector (see page 
117) - answer required for Question 40.

Appeals for funds and community radio - proposed new rules in Section 10 
- 10.53 to 10.55 (see page 119) - answer required for Question 41.

You may also be interested in responding on the proposed changes to 
Section 9 re Public Information Programming (both radio and TV, see page 
52 onwards).

We will publish the CMA's proposed responses shortly for your reference.

The consultation can be found here:
