 Dear Stakeholder



*OFCOM BROADCASTING CODE WORKSHOPS: SECTION TEN (COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS
IN RADIO PROGRAMMING) – TUESDAY 1 MARCH 2011*



On 20 December 2010, Ofcom implemented a new set of Rules (Section Ten of
the Code), and issued associated guidance, concerning commercial
communications in radio programming. This is one of the most significant
changes in the regulation of commercial radio broadcast content in the last
decade.



We will therefore be running two workshops – at 10:00 and 13:00 – about the
changes Ofcom has made. These will take place on 1 March 2011 at our Head
Office:

Riverside House
2a Southwark Bridge Road
London
SE1 9HA

Each workshop will outline:



·         why the rules have changed;



·         what they permit;



·         how to comply with them; and



·         what they mean for you, the broadcaster.



We anticipate ample opportunity for attendees’ questions.



*Commercial radio broadcasters* are invited to attend the *10:00* workshop.



*Community radio* and *long-term RSL broadcasters* are invited to attend the
*13:00* workshop.



Each workshop is expected to last approximately 2 hours and *all
broadcasters* are invited to a sandwich lunch, which will be provided at
around *12:00*.



As past workshops have proved popular, we are currently limiting numbers to
two attendees in response to each invitation. Places will be allocated on a
first come, first served basis.



Should you and/or other representatives of your organisation wish to attend,
please *reply to this email* by no later than *15 February 2011*, providing
details of:



·         who will attend;



·         which session they will attend;



·         whether they will join us for lunch; and



·         whether you would like to be contacted again if additional places
become available.



Please note that Ofcom’s National Offices are inviting relevant stakeholders
to similar workshops, to be held in Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow on 3, 10
and 17 March 2010, respectively.



We look forward to hearing from you.



Kind regards

Georgina
