EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations revoke saving provision made in the Media Act 2024 (Commencement No. 2 and Transitional and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/1033 (C. 70)) (“the 2024 Regulations”).
Regulation 2 revokes regulation 5 of the 2024 Regulations. Regulation 5 provided that the certain provisions of the Broadcasting Act 1990 (c. 42) and the Broadcasting Act 1996 (c. 55) continued to have effect in relation to community radio and small-scale radio as if the amendments to those provisions by the Media Act 2024 (c. 15) had not been commenced. This saving provision is no longer needed as the modifications made to the Broadcasting Acts 1990 and 1996 by the Community Radio Order 2025 (S.I. 2025/0000), which comes into force on the same day as regulation 2 of these Regulations, has taken account of the amendments made to both of those Acts by the Media Act
2024.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary sector or community bodies is foreseen.
