Policy

Giving commercial radio a voice on policy and regulation

Radiocentre’s policy team represents the UK commercial radio industry directly with Government, parliament, regulators and other industry bodies. We work to raise the profile of commercial radio and highlight key issues, through evidence-based reports, briefings and events that showcase the benefits that our industry provides to listeners, local communities and the wider economy.

The Radiocentre Advisory Group represents the interests of commercial radio stations and meets on a quarterly basis to discuss a wide range of issues that impact the industry.
