A Short Term Restricted Service Licence (SRSL) is a short-term radio licence broadcast on AM or FM analogue radio, granted for coverage of events, religious festivals or for trial broadcasts in preparation for applying for a longer-term licence. SRSLs are usually granted for a maximum of 28 consecutive days and are for small-scale community use. The service is restricted in both coverage and duration to make optimal use of the radio spectrum available for this type of licence, and to satisfy as far as is practicable the level of demand from applicants.

As existing commercial analogue radio licences approach their expiry date, our general approach is to issue a "pre-advertisement", inviting current or potential licensees to declare their intentions to apply. If more than one applicant declares an interest, we will issue a full re-advertisement of the licence and assess these according to our criteria. We will also advertise any licences that become available, for example if surrendered by the current licence holder.

A more straightforward way of setting up a radio service is to start an internet/intranet radio station. We do not regulate online-only radio services, and so these stations do not require a licence from Ofcom.

However, to play any music on an online station, you will need the relevant licences from the music royalty collection agencies, PPL and PRS for Music. These organisations operate separately from Ofcom, and you will need to contact them directly to find out if there are any additional requirements and costs.

On 26 July 2017, Ofcom re-awarded the Additional Services Licence to Inrix UK Ltd.

The Additional Services Licence uses the spare spectrum capacity that sits within the frequencies used for the Classic FM broadcast network, and can be used to transmit data UK-wide.

Inrix UK Ltd will continue to use the Licence to transmit traffic and road travel data to car navigational devices.

This licence was awarded by auction. Inrix UK Ltd will pay £200,000 per annum for the licence. A non-confidential version of its application, including its proposed technical plan, is available below.

The new licence will run until 23 February 2022.
