Youth radio Zurich: Music First criticizes Bakom

Music First GmbH has commissioned an expert opinion on the question of whether Bakom's approach is legally correct. According to a press release from Music First, OFCOM wanted to limit itself to the subsequent granting of a legal hearing on the financial basis of DJ Radio instead of assessing the case of youth radio in its entirety. Bakom did not want to give the other competitors the opportunity to supplement their application. Giuseppe Scaglione, Managing Director of Radio 105 and initiator of Music First, does not agree with such an approach and refers to a sentence in the Federal Council's decision: "After granting the legal hearing, DETEC will have to assess the existence of the licensing requirements once again, whereby party statements are to be measured with the same yardstick."
