Part 6: Radio selection services Section 48: Regulation of radio selection services
This section amends the CA 2003 to insert a new Part 3B, and introduce a new category of designated radio selection services. These services are voice assistant services which enable listeners to select and listen to internet radio services by using voice-activated connected audio devices. They account for a growing proportion of radio listening in the UK.
	Subsection (2) introduces Schedule 9, which contains further amendments to the Communications Act 2003 that are required as a consequence of the provisions in this section. To note, section 49 is also relevant to this Part in that it introduces Schedules 10 and 11 which insert new Schedules 16A and 16B to the Communications Act 2003 to provide provisions for the imposition of financial penalties and joint liability of entities. These provisions apply for the purposes of both this Part (regulation of radio selection services) and Part 2 (prominence on television selection services).
