[cma-l] Ofcom publishes consultation on Blast 106 request to change broadcasting commitments

[CMA-L]

Ofcom has published a consultation document following a request from Blast
106 Limited, which holds a community radio licence for Belfast, to change
the key commitments of its service Blast 106.

The station’s key commitments describe the programme service, social gain
objectives, access and participation, and accountability to the target
community which it is required to provide, and forms part of the station’s
licence.

Blast 106 Limited wishes to make changes to a number of its key
commitments. These are under the headings ‘programming’, ‘social gain
objectives’ and ‘accountability to the target community’.

A request for a key commitments change can only be approved by Ofcom if it
satisfies at least one of the five criteria set out in the Broadcasting Act
1990. As the departure would substantially alter the character of service,
Ofcom is required by statute to consult on the request.

*The consultation closes on 16 January 2015.*
