1 What is the Public File?
Each local commercial radio station in the UK has requirements in respect of its music and local content, such as news, speech levels etc. These requirements are set out in the station “Format”, a document issued by Ofcom, the UK’s radio regulator.
This Public File contains details of the elements of Ofcom radio regulations, such as music tracks, local news etc. It is intended to give you a better understanding of our output and what we are doing for our local community.
The Public File is available on-line, and as a print out. Any comments on the file can be made to us or Ofcom.
