Content Sampling Reports

Ofcom ensures that an individual station is meeting its Format requirements by listening to that station’s output - a process which we refer to as ‘content sampling’. The sampling of a particular station may be prompted by a complaint concerning a Format-related issue, or may be entirely routine.
