[cma-l] Advice on original output

[Ian Hickling]

That's then surely not contractual unless you agree in writing?

The new key commitments that were sent out to us were written by ofcom, not us.

Hi Amjid,

You write your Key Commitments, and Ofcom (hopefully) accept them - it's up to you what you put in them, I'm not aware of any hard and fast rule.

Until getting our own licence 2 years ago, we ran as a weekday evening only community opt-out from the local ILR station under their licence, so we only had 4 or 5 hours x 5 days maximum - and that's what our presenters' were used to providing for some 17 years.

We emphasised this in our CR application and have since expanded gradually to avoid a sudden large increase in commitment that we would have problems sustaining.

We use repeats & a sustaining service to fill the 24hrs, but neither count as original broadcasting, nor does our "The Week in Holyrood" brought in from outside.

Cheers,

Eddie

Hi all
Wonder if I might take some advice. Is there a minimum for original output per week. Currently we are mandated to provide 49 hours / wk (so that's 7 live hours / day including weekends). This is proving quite stressful. Is that a standard expected of all stations? How do others manage?
