BCI ADVERTISES MULTI-CITY SERVICE

 

The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) has today (April 13th) placed an advertisement in the national and local press seeking applications for a sound broadcasting service to operate a multi-city service for the 45+ age group.  The service, which is primarily music-driven, will be available in Dublin City, County and commuter belt, Cork City and County, Galway City and County, Limerick City and County and County Clare.  The service will offer one or a combination of the following music formats: classic gold, easy listening or smooth music.

 

The advertisement of the multi-city service is one of a range of new radio services planned for in the BCI’s three-year licensing plan, announced in September 2005.  This plan will see the roll-out of a total of nine additional services by the end of 2008.

 

All applications for the multi-city service must adhere to the format set out in the BCI’s Guide to Submissions for the Provision of a Multi-City Sound Broadcasting Service, April, 2007.  A copy of the Guide is available on the BCI web-site, www.bci.ie and on request from the Commission’s offices; 01 6441200.

The closing date for receipt of applications for the multi-city service is 12 noon, Friday 22nd June, 2007.
