<div>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.</div>

<div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:11pt;">Ofcom licenses S-RSLs, which are normally granted for coverage of special events, trial services and other special on-off projects. These licences are granted on a temporary basis (often only for a few weeks) and are only available to specific and often small geographical areas. In 2013, Ofcom issued a total of 257 S-RSL licences. </span></div>
<div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial;FONT-SIZE:11pt;">Ofcom formally notifies S-RSL broadcasters that </span><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial,Bold;FONT-SIZE:11pt;">we are conducting a monitoring exercise of S-RSL broadcasts in July and August. </span></div>
<div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:Arial,Bold;FONT-SIZE:11pt;">S-RSL broadcasters are put on notice that any serious or repeated failings in this area will result in Ofcom taking further regulatory action, for example, the consideration of the imposition of statutory sanctions. </span></div>
