Ofcom consults on Sunrise Radio’s request to renew AM licence based on national DAB
Ofcom is consulting on a request from Sunrise Radio to add its Greater London AM licence to the list of approved local AM or FM commercial radio licences which can be renewed based on providing a national DAB service.
Sunrise Radio, which broadcasts on 963AM and 972AM, offers a music-led service for London Asians, primarily targeting those age 15-34.
Local analogue commercial radio licences can be renewed for periods of seven, five, and ten years if the licensee is providing a local digital sound programme service on a ‘relevant’ local or small-scale radio multiplex service, or a national digital sound programme service on a national radio multiplex service. The period for which the licence can be renewed depends on when the licence was last granted following advertisement or re-advertisement, and/or how many times it has previously been renewed.
