About this document
This Call for Inputs is an opportunity to provide Ofcom with evidence relating to the regulation of the music played by local analogue commercial radio services.
In particular, Ofcom would like to gather evidence on the extent to which music listening tastes and the ways in which music is consumed are evolving. We would like to hear views on the impact that any changes to the regulation of music in local analogue commercial radio may have on listeners as well as the radio stations themselves.
Ofcom will use the responses and evidence supplied to this Call for Inputs to inform a consultation document to be published later this year. This consultation will consider whether the way that we regulate the choice of music played by local analogue commercial radio services is still the appropriate way to secure our statutory duties in this area. In particular, whether there are changes we could make in this area to bring benefits to listeners. Stakeholders will have an opportunity to respond to that consultation.
Please make any response to this Call for Inputs by 5pm on 23 July, 2014.
