<DIV dir=ltr>No we don't know "the answer". My question wasn't "what is
allowed by Ofcom?". My question was "what do other urban stations do?".
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We, as an urban music station want to make a decision on this (we've
allowed bad language late at night up until now) and if we are going to change
it, we want to know what other similar stations are doing to help us benchmark
where we sit. </DIV></DIV><BR>

class=gmail_msg>Ofcom recognises that music is a fundamental component of
radio programming. In addition, we recognise that there is a tradition of
certain genres of music including potentially offensive lyrics in songs.
In line with the broadcaster’s right to freedom of expression and the
audience’s right to receive information and ideas, it is important that
broadcasters have the editorial freedom to broadcast potentially offensive
content, provided it complies with the Code."</SPAN><BR

<DIV class=gmail_msg>It's simple there's the Ofcom code for FM/AM/DAB
broadcasters. There is no watershed on radio (at the moment) therefore
the answer is No you can't play any. But you as a broadcaster and or a
presenter should already know that that has been key to broadcasting in
the U.K as far back as I can remember. </DIV>
