About the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

This page contains background information about the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½. 

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ provides a diverse range of broadcast services under a Royal Charter.

The greater portion of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s income comes from the licence fee.

In spending this money, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has an obligation to demonstrably secure best value for money for the licence fee payer in all aspects of its day-to-day activities.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ is unique in British broadcasting. Our reputation is built on quality, public service, distinctiveness, objectivity and indigenous programme making.

Recent years have seen fundamental changes in the broadcasting industry, with more competition and a wider range of services. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ now offers major radio networks, a substantial online presence, a number of TV channels, and over 40 local radio stations, as well as a range of other services.

As part of the Charter renewal process in 2016, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has committed to open up more of its output to competition.

By 2022 60% of network radio broadcasting will be competed under a commissioning framework based on principles of fairness and transparency.

A key part of demonstrating value for money in delivering the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s services is the continuing need to form effective and strategic supplier relationships and to work with producers to maximise efficiency and innovation to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ and work closely together for mutual benefits.

In submitting responses under the Radio Commissioning Framework, suppliers should emphasise the ways in which their bid can specifically support delivery of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio’s vision and objectives.
