[F1103A Renewal of national licences.E+W+S+N.I.
(1)A national licence may (subject to the following provisions of this section) be renewed on one occasion for a period of [F2twelve] years beginning with the date of renewal.
(2)An application for the renewal of a national licence under subsection (1) may be made by the licence holder not earlier than three years before the date on which it would otherwise cease to be in force and not later than [F3the day falling three months before] the relevant date.
(3)Where any such application is made F4...—
(b)F6..., [F7OFCOM] may postpone the consideration of the application for so long as they think appropriate having regard to subsection (8).
(4)Where an application for the renewal of a national licence has been duly made to [F7OFCOM] , they shall (subject to subsection (5)) grant the application if, but only if—
(a)[F7OFCOM] are satisfied that the applicant would, if his licence were renewed, provide a national service which complied with the conditions included in the licence in pursuance of section 106 (whether as originally imposed or as varied under that section),
[F8(b)the applicant gave notice to OFCOM, within the period of one month beginning with the commencement of section 42 of the Broadcasting Act 1996, of his intention to provide a simulcast radio service, and]
(c)a simulcast radio service provided by the applicant is being broadcast in digital form or [F7OFCOM] are satisfied that by the relevant date the applicant has done all that it would in the circumstances be reasonable to expect him to do by that date to procure the broadcasting of such a service within such time as [F7OFCOM] consider reasonable.
(6)On the grant of any application under this section [F7OFCOM] —
(b)shall determine an amount which is to be payable to [F7OFCOM] by the applicant in respect of the first complete calendar year falling within the period for which the licence is to be renewed; and
[F9(7)The amount determined under subsection (6)(b) must be equal to the amount which, in OFCOM’s opinion, would have been the cash bid of the licence holder were the licence (instead of being renewed) to be granted for the period of the renewal on an application made in accordance with section 98.
(8)Where [F7OFCOM] have granted a person’s application under this section they shall formally renew his licence not later than the relevant date or, if that is not reasonably practicable F10..., as soon after that date as is reasonably practicable; and they shall not so renew his licence unless they have notified him of—
(i)as if the amount determined by [F7OFCOM] under subsection (6)(b) were an amount specified in a cash bid submitted by the licence holder, and
(c)where [F7OFCOM] have determined a date under subsection (6)(a), they shall include in the licence as renewed a condition requiring a simulcast radio service to be broadcast in digital form throughout the period beginning with the date determined under subsection (6)(a) and ending with the date on which the licence (as renewed) is to expire; and
F11(10). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[F12(10A)In the case of a pre-transfer national licence (including one for a period extended under section 253 of the Communications Act 2003)—
“the relevant date”, in relation to a national licence, means the date which [F7OFCOM] determine to be that by which they would need to publish a notice under section 98(1) if they were to grant, as from the date on which that licence would expire if not renewed, a fresh licence to provide the national service formerly provided under that licence.]
