Statement published 25 March 2021

Bauer Radio Limited wishes to amend its Format such that the character of service applying to its Greater London (105.8 FM) licence, which broadcasts as ‘Absolute Radio’, would change from:

“A rock-oriented station combining new music with classic album tracks, aimed at 25-44 year-old Londoners.”

to:

“A station playing classic pop and rock hits of the 70s, 80s and 90s with specialist features, music documentaries and a classic album tracks show, plus local news and information aimed at 25-54 year-old Londoners.”

Ofcom is seeking views on the change to the ‘Character of Service’ proposed by Bauer Radio Limited.
