Characteristics of community radio services 3 1 It is a characteristic of community radio services that they are local services provided primarily— a for the good of members of the public, or of particular communities, and b in order to deliver social gain, rather than primarily for commercial reasons or for the financial or other material gain of the individuals involved in providing the service. 2 It is a characteristic of every community radio service that it is intended primarily to serve one or more communities (whether or not it also serves other members of the public). 3 It is a characteristic of every community radio service that the person providing the service— a does not do so in order to make a financial profit by so doing, and b uses any profit that is produced in the provision of the service wholly and exclusively for securing or improving the future provision of the service, or for the delivery of social gain to members of the public or the community that the service is intended to serve. 4 It is a characteristic of every community radio service that members of the community it is intended to serve are given opportunities to participate in the operation and management of the service. 5 It is a characteristic of every community radio service that, in respect of the provision of that service, the person providing the service is accountable to the community that the service is intended to serve. Application of broadcasting legislation 4 The provisions of the 1990 Act and the 2003 Act have effect in relation to a community radio service in the Bailiwick of Guernsey with the modifications set out in the Schedule. Disqualified persons 5 1 In addition to the modifications made under article 4 of, and the Schedule to, this Order, Part 2 of Schedule 2 to the 1990 Act has effect in relation to community radio licences as if the persons who are disqualified persons by virtue of that Part of that Schedule included, in relation to such licences, any person falling within paragraph (2). 2 Those persons are— a any person who is not a body corporate; b any body corporate falling within paragraph (3); and c any C4 company or S4C company that would not otherwise be a disqualified person by virtue of paragraph (3). 3 A body corporate falls within this paragraph if— a that body holds at least one relevant Broadcasting Act licence; or b that body is connected with a person who holds one or more such licences. 4 In this article, a relevant Broadcasting Act licence is a Broadcasting Act licence which is not a licence to provide one of the following services— a a community radio service; b a digital sound programme service; c a restricted service; d a radio licensable content service; e a restricted television service; f a television licensable content service. Restrictions on holding of community radio licences 6 1 No body corporate may hold more than one community radio licence at any one time. 2 For the purposes of this article, any body corporate which is connected with another such body which holds such a licence is treated as if it also were a holder of that licence.
