• the frequency for each transmitter (column two) does not form part of the licence area plan decision and is included for reference only;

• the service licence number which has been allocated to the service, if appropriate (column three);  N/A = Not Applicable, as the Broadcasting Services Act 1992 only requires service licences for Commercial and Community services;
