Ofcom has published its draft Annual Plan for the coming year. Its proposals
for radio include:
Enhancing choice and diversity for radio listeners at national, regional
and local levels by issuing new licences for FM commercial, digital and
community radio stations
Considering the opportunities available to small commercial and
community radio stations to migrate to digital radio
The possibility of relaxing some of the analogue radio format
requirements once there is mass market take-up of digital radio
To secure the provision of radio designed to meet public purposes, for
example by encouraging the growth of community radio
To ensure the provision of an appropriate amount of local material on
local commercial radio stations.
Ofcom has launched a consultation exercise, requesting feedback to its
proposals by 10 February 2006, so that the final version of the Plan can be
published in April.
