[cma-l] Note from Ofcom for RSLs

[Alan Coote]

All,

This from the latest broadcast bulletin

Note to Broadcasters

Targeted monitoring exercise – short-term Restricted Licence Services (‘S-RSLs’)

Ofcom licenses S-RSLs, which are normally granted for coverage of special events, trial services and other special on-off projects. These licences are granted on a temporary basis (often only for a few weeks) and are only available to specific and often small geographical areas. In 2013, Ofcom issued a total of 257 S-RSL licences.

Ofcom formally notifies S-RSL broadcasters that we are conducting a monitoring exercise of S-RSL broadcasts in July and August.

S-RSL broadcasters are put on notice that any serious or repeated failings in this area will result in Ofcom taking further regulatory action, for example, the consideration of the imposition of statutory sanctions.
