   When writing a commercial for a carpet shop, you must include a man doing a cod Hispanic accent shouting "Underlay! Underlay!"

   Failure to do so will result in an Ofcom fine.

      When the temperature outside your studio reaches 0.1 degree C above 20, you must play:
      a) Dario G - Sunchyme
      b) DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - Summertime

      Failure to do so will result in an Ofcom fine.

         Any weather sponsorship credits must include the words "whatever the weather".

         As in: "Balls FM weather, powered by John's Carpet Solutions, for all your flooring needs whatever the weather."

            As technology improves and platforms multiply, you must include every single way your station can be heard, every top-of-the-hour, even when those are just multiple ways of listening to the same platform.

            "Online, on 107.7 FM, on DAB digital radio, on your tablet, on your smartphone, on your smart speaker, on your false teeth, blaring from your neighbour's car. This is today's best music mix. 107.7 Balls FM! NEWS."

            Failure to do so will result in an Ofcom fine.

               You must assume that every single person works 9am-5pm Monday to Friday followed by a Big Night Out on Friday and Saturday.

               Changing work patterns and lifestyles must be ignored. Your radio station should sound like a subspace emission from 1992.

               Failure to do so will result in an Ofcom fine.

               Each advert break must have at least one ad set in a voiceover session, where the VO simply can't believe the low, low prices of the advertised product, stops the read and has to rush off to buy it *right now*.

               Failure to do so will result in an Ofcom fine.
