[cma-l] Note from Ofcom for RSLs

[Associated Broadcast Consultants]

Either that, or maybe technical compliance if they suspsect some stations
are pushing too much power or using dodgy equipment or something.

Apart for the obvious things like politics, religion and swearing, the
content of RSL's is pretty much upto the broadcaster.  Nothing like Key
Commitments.   They pay for that priviledge though - approximately 40 times
more than CR broadcasters.
