How to avoid the pitfalls?<br>
Simple.<br>
Don't play it unless you've auditioned it.<br>
The Licensee is totally responsible for the station's output.<br>
Accepting that the odd track can get through is lousy management - sorry!<br>
Ans allowing all and sundry to add to the playlist is utter madness.<br>
There are enough influences out there trying to kill off your station without
adding Self Harming to the list!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Agree entirely with Julian, without someone who's sole responsibility it is to
maintain the music library, be responsible for uploading, editing and
scheduling the music daily the community world is at a disadvantage. We
have to rely on our volunteers and our training, consequently with the best
will in the world a non radio edit occasionally slips through the net.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>Underlying it is I think the whole regulatory setup of
radio i.e. everyone plays by the same rules. In itself there's nothing
wrong with that, but when the rules are written by organisations with
professional and paid capacity, those rules can easily be blind to the
challenges that they pose to organisations running under limited volunteer
steam.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>At 10Radio we have a huge music library gleaned from our
members' and volunteers' personal collections. Over the years we have
weeded that to take out the explicits, but the occasional blip does still
happen on our sustaining service (and results in immediate deletion). We
encourage people to add new tracks and keep the collection alive (and we give
them guidelines), but we don't have the capacity to supervise or double-check
everything that has been added.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>Furthermore, we don't insist that people only play from our
own music library, so many bring in their own tracks. Again, we train
presenters so that they know not to play explicits especially when children are
in the likely audience, but some people may innocently play something that is
deemed offensive (look at the words to almost every Amy Winehouse track!).
A professional station may have the capacity to make sure that that
doesn't happen. We simply don't.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>We have even had an instance where someone with a grudge
against us sent in a request to a new presenter for a particular track.
When it was played they complained about the explicit references.
Again, we don't have studio producers weeding out that sort of sabotage.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Tahoma'>I know that we have signed up to Ofcom's regulatory
framework and that is fine. But I would hate to think that this furore
about offensive language ends up with more layers of regulation that we will
simply be unable to implement. Some commercial stations would probably
love to see the back of the pesky community sector ("they can't meet
comply with the code, therefore they have to go"), but if we are to
continue providing the local and accessible community service which we are
committed to then at the meeting in October the CMA must fight for a realistic
approach which accommodates all sectors of the radio industry, and not just the
big boys.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
As you will be aware, Ofcom informed broadcasters in a ‘Note to Broadcasters’
(in Broadcast Bulletin 188 - <a
href="http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/broadcast-"
target="_blank">http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/broadcast-</a>
bulletins/obb188/obb188.pdf) of their concern about offensive language in radio
programming. This concern arose from a number of Findings, published in
Broadcast Bulletin 188, which <br>
featured offensive language in sound recordings and live music performances
broadcast on radio services, especially those broadcast when children were
particularly likely to be listening. <br>
We strongly suggest that you read Ofcom's note, and we will be attending a
special meeting in late October called by Ofcom to discuss the issue, we will
feed back the outcomes from the meeting <br>
<br>
Best wishes <br>
