<p>Hi Amjid,</p>
<p>You write your Key Commitments, and Ofcom (hopefully) accept them
- it's up to you what you put in them, I'm not aware of any hard
and fast rule.<br>
</p>
<p>Until getting our own licence 2 years ago, we ran as a weekday
evening only community opt-out from the local ILR station under
their licence, so we only had 4 or 5 hours x 5 days maximum - and
that's what our presenters' were used to providing for some 17
years.<br>
</p>
<p>We emphasised this in our CR application and have since expanded
gradually to avoid a sudden large increase in commitment that we
would have problems sustaining.</p>
<p>We use repeats & a sustaining service to fill the 24hrs, but
neither count as original broadcasting, nor does our "The Week in
Holyrood" brought in from outside.</p>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Eddie<br>

Is there a minimum for original output per week. Currently we
are mandated to provide 49 hours / wk (so that’s 7 live hours
/ day including weekends). This is proving quite stressful. Is
that a standard expected of all stations? How do others
manage?</span></div>
