The Radio Authority was constituted under the Broadcasting Act 1990, following the abolition of the Independent Broadcasting Authority.
Its functions were: to plan frequencies, award licences, regulate programming and radio advertising; to play an active role in the discussion and formulation of policies which affected the independent radio industry and its listeners.
In 2003 the Authority was superseded by the Office of Communications, under the provisions of the Communications Act 2000.
