The Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien (BLM) is in charge of commercial
broadcasting in Bavaria. It licenses, promotes and monitors private radio and television programmes and services.
Structure. Promote. Research. Inform.
These activities comprise the core remit of the BLM, the regulatory authority for commercial broadcasting in Bavaria. On national issues and services, it cooperates with the other 13 regulatory authorities in Germany.
Under the stipulations of the Bavarian Con stitution, the BLM acts as a public-service institution licensing and controlling commercial radio and tele vision services for Bavaria and beyond. With its research and development activities, the BLM aims at promoting a technical infrastructure which will warrant the
future-proof, secure and sustainable development for commercial broadcasting in the digital world.
The BLM also sees itself as an information platform for all interested parties and aims at optimum transparency in its activities. This brochure is therefore intended to inform the general public about our responsibilities and activities.
