One year into the Communications Act, amidst an Ofcom review of
public sector broadcasting and with BBC Charter Renewal around
the corner, this think tank takes a close look at the UK's
changing radio landscape.
Despite an Act with hard-fought for reference to localness, and
against research that shows that local music tastes can vary
considerably, centralised playlisting is creeping into
commercial radio. A trend that's likely to grow given
expected consolidation and foreign ownership of broadcast media.
The session will also consider Radio 1's playlist policy,
BBC local radio, systems in other countries and the launch and
likely impact of community radio.
The evening will be keynoted by David Ferguson Chairman, British
Academy of Composers & Songwriters and Chaired by Keith
Harris. Panelists include Marie-Agnès Beau, Head of the French
Music Bureau in London and Steve Stark, Director of Brighton’s
Juice 107.2 fm and totallyradio.com. Representatives from the
BBC, OFCOM and others await confirmation.
We strongly advise early booking for this event.
Cost: £20, £15 for trade body members.
