[cma-l] Ofcom - tomorrow

[Eden FM Radio]

Hello Bill

I would take a guess, that one reason why Ofcom may delay the report further, is the uncertainty as to whether the Broadcasting (Radio Multiplex Services) Bill will receive Royal Ascent before Parliament is disolved.

It is not showing as complete this morning.

If it doesn't, that will make a significant difference to Ofcom plans.

  I again draw your attention to Ofcom's consultation "Community radio: future licensing and technical policy" published on 28th October 2016:


    1.4 We anticipate that our current (third) round of licensing will draw to a close in late spring 2017, and that licensing of small-scale DAB services may not commence before 2018. In the interim, we propose to license more analogue services, as well as consider coverage improvements for existing services.

  We will be asking for further clarification of Ofcom's deadline and insisting that Ofcom publishes its response to the technical consultation that Sharon White indicated would be delivered by the end of April.


  Regards


  Bill

    Bill - we wish you all the best in your meeting at Ofcom tomorrow.
    Don't forget to stress that there are 243 CR broadcasters out here - and another 160-plus potential Applicants - that have been waiting for a very long tome for news of how Ofcom is going to proceed with serving this market - and for at least some results from the 33 Region 10 and 11 applications.


    Thank you.
