We have been asked to write to the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland re Tipp FM Radio in Clonmel. The person who contacted us wishes to know if the radio are allowed to make some competitions text entry only. The person concerned considers this means that elderly folk not familiar with mobile phones may be being discriminated against by this policy in that they are deprived of the opportunity to enter.We do not listen to this radio station and are not familiar with their competition policies. But we have asked the BCI to confirm the situation in writing.
Update:4 March 2008.The Broadcasting Commission has now wriiten us to say that this is not a matter for ther BCI and "The BCI cannot regulate the manner in which the station runs their competitions" and that the matter should be raised with the station directly.
We thank the BCI for their prompt clarification and will pass this on to our correspondent.
