Decision – Revolution Radio Limited

Revolution Radio is a community radio service for the diverse ethnic communities of Northampton, which is provided by Revolution Radio Limited ("Revolution").

Ofcom has imposed a £400 financial penalty on Revolution Radio Limited after our investigation found that it had failed to comply with the conditions of its licence.

In our decision published on 10 October 2022 in issue 459 of Ofcom’s Broadcast and On Demand Bulletin, Ofcom found that Revolution had failed to serve its target community as set out in the character of service of its Key Commitments and was therefore in breach of Licence Conditions 2(1) and 2(4) of its licence. This was the second time that Revolution had been found in breach of these conditions of its licence.

This penalty would have been higher had Revolution not taken various additional steps to ensure compliance with its Key Commitments from mid-2022. In light of those additional steps, we do not currently have concerns that Revolution remains non-compliant.
