The Aberdeen radio station, Original 106, is seeking to change its format, resulting in broadcasting regulators, Ofcom, issuing an invitation for people's views on the request.
Says Ofcom: “While retaining the station’s overall 'adult alternative' theme, Original wishes to remove the obligation contained in its format requiring the station to be 'album [track]-led', and instead proposes a requirement to play specific types or genres of music ('adult-oriented album tracks, classic rock and predominantly non-contemporary pop-rock hits'). No change is proposed to the target demographic of 35-59 year-olds, or to the station’s existing news and localness commitments.”
