Nevis Radio Public File

All local commercial radio stations in the UK have an obligation with regard to its programmes, music and local content. These requirements are set out in the station "Format", the guiding document issued by Ofcom, the UK media regulator and watchdog.

The "Public File" lists the details of exactly what Ofcom regulates, and is designed to give you an understanding of what we are doing for our community, and how we go about our daily business.

The Public File is can be obtained in print format, upon request, from the station. Should you have cause to comment or question, these may be directed to Nevis Radio or directly to Ofcom. More information about the Public File obligation can be found at the Ofcom Website.

Station Format

Formats are considered regulatory documents, and are issued to Ofcom licence holders, which outline exactly what is required of each radio station's programming. The format for Nevis Radio 96.6 is available on the Ofcom website.
