Ofcom Broadcast Rules:
While planning and creating my show I had to gain permission from the artist that owned the songs I wanted to use, doing this stopped any claims being put in on the show due to copyright. I asked my friend via text if I was allowed to use their content so that he knew exactly what his music was being used for. A PRS license for the show was important so that the artist Yusuf Yellow and Jackie Moonbather got paid for their music being featured on the show so that I didn't claim all money made and they got their share for the time put into their creations.Section 1: Protecting the under-eighteens.
We are broadcasting the show after the watershed, the show will be streaming at 21:00 so that we don't have to censor any swearing from the artists or songs. If the show was broadcasted before the watershed we would get many complaints down to parents being with their kids while listening to the show as it isn't family friendly and could be offensive to others. As we are having artists come into the studio for interviews and live events we have chosen to broadcast after the watershed just so that the content isn't offensive and inappropriate down to the time it is being broadcasted for listeners.
Section 2: Harm and offence.
During the broadcast, Sheffield's Underground Sounds will have a competition to win tickets to a gig of the artist being interviewed on that show, being Yusuf Yellow. We must make sure that we clearly state what they are entering and doing so will make sure that no one can be misled into something they didn't ask to be part of. We must also make sure that there is no offensive commentary towards anyone. this would be slander and also make sure the artists aren't racist or rude towards anyone as this could cause major upset and even bring trouble to the station.
Section 3: Religon.
As Sheffield's Underground Sounds is being broadcasted to the local community, this means a range of ethnicities and backgrounds will be tuned into the show. This means we should make sure no inappropriate continent is released that could be racist or anything that could be taken the wrong by listeners, also warning the artists what not to say during the show.
Section 4: Due impartially and due accuracy.
During the show we have an advertisement from Spinning Discs, a Sheffield record shop based in Meersbrook. While broadcasting this advertisement we have to make sure that all the location details are correct so that we don't mislead the listeners to the wrong location. If this was the case then we could bring the show a lot of stress through complaints from frustrated listeners. We also have a short segment on the show where there is a competition, while broadcasting this small competition we need to make it clear so that the listeners entering know exactly what they are entering for and that they don't get misled in the process.
Section 5: Fairness
During the broadcast of 'Sheffield's Underground Sounds' for example, we have two similar parts in the show, one being an interview and the other being a live in studio interview. During both of these, the host of the show should keep the same attitude with both of the other people, not being any different with one over the other so that we keep the same respect to people as we do with everyone.
Section 6: Privacy
In the interview with Yusuf Yellow we ask questions about where he grew up, while streaming this we need to make sure that he doesn't release too much personal information about himself that could put him in danger as his privacy is tied in with the Data Protection Act.
Section 7: Commercial references on TV
While broadcasting our advert from Spinnin Discs, we need to make sure that the advert are suitable through Ofcom regulations, we also cant make the advert seem like part of a song so we need to clearly state when the advertisement is due.
Section 8: Commercial communications on the radio
On the same subject of the advertisements clearly needing to be stated that they are coming up so they don't sound like part of the song, we have to make sure that no commercial references are stated during the show so that we aren't fishing for money from listeners, this includes anything that involves a payment.
