The Broadcasting Act 1990 (Independent Radio Services: Exceptions) Order 1990
Under section 97(1) of the Broadcasting Act 1990, it is an offence for a person to provide any independent radio service (as defined by section 84(1) of that Act) without being authorised to do so by or under a licence under Part III of that Act. However, the offence in section 97(1) does not apply to such services or descriptions of services as are specified in an order made by the Secretary of State. Article 2(2) of this Order exercises that power and specifies exceptions.
