These activities comprise the core remit of the The Bayerische Landeszentrale für neue Medien (BLM), the regulatory authority for new media in Bavaria. On national issues and services, it cooperates with the other 13 regulatory authorities in Germany.

Under the stipulations of the Bavarian Constitution, the BLM acts as a public-service institution licensing and controlling commercial radio, television and online 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.
