BBC (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50302135 (01 March 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested the annual budget of Coventry and Warwickshire radio station since 2005 and the annual external advertising budgets outside of BBC broadcasts for the same period. The BBC stated that the requested information fell outside the scope of the Act because it is information held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation it disclosed the external advertising budgets. In relation to the remainder of the information the Commissioner-™s decision is that it is genuinely held for the purposes of journalism. Therefore the BBC is not obliged to comply with Parts I to V of the Act.
