Today sees the publication of a major study by Centre for Journalism academic staff.
Professor Tim Luckhurst, Dr Ben Cocking, Ian Reeves and Rob Bailey are joint authors of Assessing the Delivery of BBC Radio 5 Live’s Public Service Commitment, which was launched this morning at a meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Media Group at the Palace of Westminster.
Members of the group chaired by Rosie Cooper MP were presented with the findings of the report, which demonstrates that 5Live is not meeting its licensing requirement that 75 per cent of its annual broadcast output should consist of news and current affairs programming.
The report, published by Abramis is available to download here. You can also view it in the online reader below.
The research was carried out following the award of a research grant by News UK and Ireland Ltd.
