Broadcasting (Radio Multiplex Services) Act 2017

Legal background

  1. The power introduced by this Act allows the Secretary of State to modify the existing legislative framework for the licensing by Ofcom of radio multiplex services in Part 2 of the Broadcasting Act 1996 and Part 3 of the Communications Act 2003. Modifications to those legislative provisions would create a light touch regulatory regime that is more appropriate for small scale multiplexes, as opposed to national or local (county-level) digital transmission.
