As far as I know, any local commercial station that has a commitment to produce local news is normally required by Ofcom to produce it for itself in the local area (or clustered area), and not permitted to re-use BBC material.<br></p><p>Maybe things are less strict for community stations - has any community station asked Ofcom if they are permitted to rebroadcast BBC News content?<br></p><p>Alex<br></p><blockquote type="cite"><div id="ox-7b972dc5b1" style="word-wrap: break-word;" class="">On 22 May 2017 at 18:30 Bob Tyler <bobtyler@btinternet.com> wrote:<br><br>I understand that such news is allowed on a CR Station website AFTER it has been sent to or used by the BBC.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As for further use of the audio, I don’t know.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would think this could be circumnavigated by a short Q & A with an ‘on the spot’ witness.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I believe the scheme is based on an ‘embedded’ person at your location.
