Public File
Radio stations licensed to broadcast in the United Kingdom are required to maintain a Public File.
Digital Sound Programme Services have specific obligations relating to their programming, including the provision of music, speech, and locally relevant content. These obligations are defined within the station’s Format, which forms part of the station’s public file.
A hard copy of the public file is available by post upon request from any member of the public. The public file provides information about the station’s operations and programming output.
Comments regarding the contents of the public file may be directed to the station or to the broadcasting regulator, Ofcom.
