The Radio Authority is today (22 April) publishing its Programming & Advertising Review for January - March 2003 (Issue 12). The Review examines a number of important programming and advertising matters which were considered by the Radio Authority during the first quarter of 2003.
The Authority’s Quarterly Bulletin for January - March 2003, detailing all complaints and adjudications for this quarter, is available online. During the quarter, the Authority considered 142 complaints about programming and advertising on commercial radio throughout the UK. 60 concerned programming matters, of which 9 were upheld. Of those upheld, 6 concerned taste, decency and offence, 1 related to balance, bias and fairness, and 2 concerned other matters. The Authority also considered 82 advertising and sponsorship complaints, of which 26 were upheld. Of those upheld, 13 related to offensive advertisements, 12 concerned misleading advertisements, and 1 related to a harmful advertisement.
In this issue of the Review, Martin Campbell, Director of Programming and Advertising, emphasises a licensee’s absolute obligation to keep recordings of its output for 42 days, and offers advice on conflict coverage.
