Disclaimer

Commercial radio

In the UK all independent radio services are licensed and regulated by The Radio Authority. Local licences are advertised in an open competition, and are awarded for a period of 8 years.

Each commercial radio station's licence includes a programme 'format' which describes the essential character and direction of the station and its target audience.  Where appropriate, the format includes a clear musical expectation and obligation to broadcast local content. 

For more details, see The Radio Authority's codes and guidance.
