aims to usually complete those cases that it takes forward for investigation
within 50 working days. However much of the focus of the Radio Team at Ofcom this year has understandably been on the Community Radio (Amendment) Order
2015 which has somewhat delayed progress on this issue. Furthermore Ofcom has <span style="font-size:12.8px">held back the results of all cases to ensure a consistency of approach.</span><br></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">The

a preview of what Ofcom intends to publish in the Broadcast Bulletin.
Stations receiving a preliminary view will have up to 10 days to respond
to it after which Ofcom will either amend the preliminary view in
response to the station's feedback or publish the original unchanged.
