[cma-l] Note from Ofcom for RSLs

[shirleyludford@btinternet.co]

Hi Alan,

It would be interesting to know far the criteria for gaining an RSL is monitored.  One group in Swindon has had a few RSLs, used several of our Presenters and covered events that we were covered/were going to cover and had "Radio 2 style programmes during the day".

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. 
Alan
