About RadioCentre - What we do

About us

RadioCentre was founded in 2006 after the merger of the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and the Commercial Radio Companies Association (CRCA).

RadioCentre gives UK commercial radio a voice, working with government, policy makers and regulators as well as providing a forum for industry-wide debate and discussion. See here for details of radio industry bodies we work with.

In recent years RadioCentre have lobbied successfully to provide stations with more freedom in how and where they produce content; deregulation of commercial messages; tighter rules on the prominence of commercial brands on the BBC; and the removal of local media ownership rules.

See our staff page for more details of our teams and working areas.
