<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>That's not really a like-for-like comparison. Broadcasting a
song with the f word at 10am is not the same as letting an unlicensed
driver take a minibus full of disabled kids at 90mph down a packed urban street
- or did I miss something? The better comparison would be an insistence
that all drivers have to have their licence with them when they go out on the
road. It avoids an offence, but that's it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>It's strange how this debate seems to have been polarised into
"abide by the rules" or "ignore the rules". I don't
think I have said "ignore the rules". What I was trying to
highlight (obviously not very effectively) was that systems of rules generally
develop and evolve to the point where they favour those with the greatest
capacity to implement them - and the fact that Ofcom want a special meeting
about offensive language in songs raises some concerns for me that they might
be wanting greater regulation.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Anyone who has studied sociology may have come across the concept of
'expert systems' - systems that implicitly bar the non-experts from
participating. The legal system is an obvious example, but in other
fields a system of rules that is formed to control and regulate will tend to
reflect the values and priorities of those who create the rules. In a
consultational environment where 'stakeholders' get to have a say, it tends to
be the largest organisations who have the capacity to make heavyweight submissions,
challenge the rules they don't like, and push towards rules that preferably
give them a competitive advantage. Food hygiene is an obvious case - the
supermarkets will help devise rules to increase hygiene standards via
pre-packaging, sterile environments etc because they know that while it will
cost them a bit more, it will be an impossible level of compliance for smaller
competitors to achieve - so a system that is set up to protect the public's
health ends up forcing out smaller players and consolidating the market
position of the largest players. Over time of course it levels out,
smaller competitors re-emerge who can absorb the regulations etc - but the
rules still create significant barriers to market entry. (and please
don't take that to read that I am proposing that poisonous food be sold on the
shelves!)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>My concern with the offensive language debate (or similar situations)
is that extensions (stress: extensions) to the rules / enforcement /
expectations will tend, possibly through unintended consequences, to favour the
larger players with the capacity to absorb the requirements. Some
community stations may have the capacity / inclination / drive to digest that
higher level of regulation and the BBC obviously have the people with the time
to do the auditable risk analysis etc that gets them off the hook. But as
a station that broadcasts to a small rural community (where it's inevitable
that presenters know the listeners) we simply don't want to offend - it's not
good for business! 99.x% of the time I am sure that we don't, but the
reality of the situation is that sometimes we might, and if we do we apologise,
we take counter-measures, and we move on. And because of where we are,
that works. What I would hate to have is added layers of intervention and
bureaucracy that would support (possibly lone or vindictive) complainants who
have taken offence, that result in investigations and in the process take
up huge amounts of our time, and ultimately curtail our ability to provide
social gain and a service of value to our community. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

exposed to language on his way to school that is infinitely worse
than anything we (or others) broadcast. In a world where media is increasingly
delivered by the unregulated internet, this could be about layers of rules that
actually make no difference whatsoever to the world we live in!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

ain’t ?
and it is because some of the rules are different as to why some of the
stations can’t afford to have more hands on deck which would thus reduce
the probability of music getting through that shouldn’t.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font

taking on a licence is you follow the rules and those rules are the same for
everyone. Obviously, by its nature community radio takes more risks. Capital
will only play around 140 different tracks at any one time and it those are
picked very carefully indeed by their music team. Community stations will play
much more than that and so the risks are increased of playing something a bit
naughty.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color=black><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black'>You could tackle this
in one of a number of ways. Insist only tracks on a playout system are played
and these can only be added by a single person… or presenters can add
tracks but won't be released for automation until they've listened to and
approved. Presenter contracts emphasising their compliance role may also be a
useful check. You may of course be of the view that the important part of what
you do as a station is what the presenters say and where they come from –
not the music they play – and so a locked-down schedule of music is not
only useful but sometimes desirable. As you will note that the live swearing on
Radio 1 escaped sanction because they had audit-able evidence of the steps they
took to ensure compliance.<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><font color=black><span

style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Hardly anyone had previous radio
experience before we setup six years ago, but we had lots of community
development experience. We setup primarily to do community
development. In that context, we're not going to be negligent and we're
not going to ignore what we have signed up to do. But we are going to be
realistic about what volunteers can be expected to do, and what they can
achieve and deliver in the absence of full-time hands-on management. From
the conversations I've had, people from the more commercial and possibly top
down model really struggle with this approach. But it works for us, it
works for our community, and from what Ofcom have said having monitored our
output, it works for them as well.<u3:p></u3:p><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>So getting back to the original point, a
regulatory system which relies upon stations having fully resourced staff and
management teams presents extra challenges for volunteer run stations such as
ours. If, at the meeting in October, Ofcom seem inclined to move
towards increased regulation or expectations, I would ask that the Jaqui and
the CMA represent the difficulties that this will pose for stations operating
with minimal resources.<u3:p></u3:p><u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
