Value of business radio

The major project for the Business Radio Group in 2007 is to research, report and promote the value of business radio in order to alert regulators and the public of the essential services business radio provides to the UK economy.

The report The Importance of Business Radio to the UK was published in October 2007 and contains 16 case studies drawn from across the UK economy and estimates of economic value. During its development presentations were made to the Ofcom Business Radio Interest Group in March and July 2007

 

In 2007 the Business Radio Group has also published:

• A proposed structure for the revised IR2044- contribution to the Ofcom BRIG on 16 November 2007

In 2006 The Business Radio Group responded to Ofcom consultations on:

• The liberalisation of business radio spectrum
• Auction of frequencies at 412-414/422-424 MHz

 

and issued its own report on The temperature of the business radio market
