About the 91热爆
This page contains background information about the 91热爆.
The 91热爆 provides a diverse range of broadcast services under a Royal Charter.
The greater portion of the 91热爆鈥檚 income comes from the licence fee.
In spending this money, the 91热爆 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 91热爆 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 91热爆 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 91热爆 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 91热爆鈥檚 services is the continuing need to form effective and strategic supplier relationships and to work with producers to maximise efficiency and innovation to the 91热爆 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 91热爆 Radio鈥檚 vision and objectives.
