Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Where—

(a)

a person (in this paragraph, “the relevant person”) holds any local sound broadcasting licence which overlaps with any two other local sound broadcasting licences held by him which also overlap with each other,

(b)

the coverage area for the service provided under any of the licences mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) changes at any time while the relevant person is the holder of that licence, and

(c)

at the time immediately after that change takes effect, the condition in article 5(2)(c) is satisfied in relation to any of those licences,

the relevant person may not then hold the licence or (as the case may be) licences in respect of which that condition is satisfied, taking, for the purposes of this paragraph, the references in article 5 to the licence in question to be references to each licence such as is mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) in turn, and the reference in article 5(4)(b) to the relevant person to be a reference to the relevant person referred to in this paragraph.

(2)

Where—

(a)

a person of a description mentioned in article 6(2) (in this paragraph, “the relevant person”) holds any local sound broadcasting licence which overlaps with any two other local sound broadcasting licences (regardless of who holds the other licences) which also overlap with each other,

(b)

the coverage area for the service provided under any such licence changes at any time while the relevant person is its holder, and

(c)

at the time immediately after that change takes effect, the condition in article 6(3)(c) is satisfied in relation to any such licence,

the relevant person may not then hold the licence or (as the case may be) licences in respect of which that condition is satisfied, taking, for the purposes of this paragraph, the references in article 6 to the licence in question to be references to the licence held by him mentioned in sub-paragraph (a) or (if there is more than one) each such licence in turn, and the reference in article 6(5)(b) to the relevant person to be a reference to the relevant person referred to in this paragraph.
