BCI Radio Licensing - Commercial Radio - Guide to Submissions
Background:
As part of the licensing process under the Radio and Television Act 1988, the Commission must specify the procedure to be followed in order to make an expression of interest or an application. This has meant that the Commission has operated a practice of preparing Guides to Submissions for each application process.
The Guide includes information on the following:
- the criteria used by the Commission in the assessment of applications,
- guidelines and procedures for the submission of applications,
- a suggested format for the application including an outline of how the content should be structured and the type of material to be included,
- the procedures to be adopted by the commission in its decision-making.
A number of appendices are also included which set out the Commission’s Ownership and Control Policy and technical information.
Below is a table of guides to submissions issued by the BCI relating to various commercial services advertised by the Commission.
