Statement published 9 December 2020
In August 2020, CRB Audio Limited – a subsidiary of Bauer Radio – submitted a request to Ofcom to make changes to the Format of its FM local radio licence for Bristol, which broadcasts as ‘Sam FM’, with a view to relaunching the station as ‘Hits Radio’.
In Ofcom’s view, the proposed change would constitute a significant departure from the ‘Character of Service’, and so was subject to a public consultation.
Following that consultation, Ofcom has decided to approve the change to the ‘Character of Service’ proposed by CRB Audio Limited.
