Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will investigate the time taken by Ofcom to come to a decision on complaints submitted in 2013 about unapproved format changes to the Choice FM radio station now operated by Global Radio; and what information he holds on when Ofcom plans to respond to those complaints.

This is an operational matter for Ofcom, the independent communications regulator. DCMS officials have spoken to Ofcom and have been informed that Ofcom has been investigating complaints about the current output of Choice FM and, in doing so, has had to consider a significant amount of material. Ofcom is currently finalising its decision and will publish this very shortly.
