Ofcom Update: Ofcom publishes Future of Radio consultation

Ofcom today published its consultation on the Future of Radio which sets out a possible framework for future regulation and licensing of the radio sector. The framework takes into account the ongoing transition of analogue radio listening to digital platforms; including Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), digital television and the internet.

 

The consultation focuses on three main areas: the regulation of content and ownership in commercial radio; the regulation of community radio; and the migration of listening from analogue to digital platforms, opening up the possible use of analogue radio spectrum for other services when the time is right.

 

The closing date for responses to Ofcom’s consultation is 29 June 2007.
