Global, the media & entertainment company, has launched The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X’s annual charity ‘pubcast’ with a delayed donation mechanic.
Once again, The Chris Moyles Show team have recorded their no-holds-barred ‘pubcast’ – a special edition of their Radio X Show podcast recorded in the pub – featuring guests including Hollywood star Kiefer Sutherland in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise charity.
The pubcast, now in its 4th year is available for the first time through SMS interaction by texting a shortcode, to receive a unique link to stream or download the audio content. Powered by Fonix Mobile, a voluntary donation of £5 is then taken from the user, unless they decide to opt out.
This is the first time that content has been delivered using this method which has previously been used to facilitate voluntary donations from competition entries. Global’s Enterprise Director, Joel Stern said “We have been looking at how to facilitate the delivery of premium content with a charity element for some time and the delayed donation mechanic ensures the simplest possible user journey, whilst maximising the benefit for Global’s Make Some Noise and the small charities that benefit from it.”
Following publication of the PSA’s Statement on introducing new Special conditions for all subscription services, and the new Special conditions for Recurring Donation services, the PSA held an implementation workshop for industry members working in the charity space to raise any implementation-specific queries, ahead of the regulatory changes coming into force on 1 November 2019.
At the workshop it was identified that some charity print and broadcast advertisements that have already been produced for upcoming campaigns may not be compliant with the updated Special conditions for Recurring Donation services.
Following consideration of this issue, the PSA is extending the implementation date for Special conditions RDS6(d) and RDS7(c) for specific providers, which will now come into force on 6 January 2020. The PSA considers that this will enable those providing recurring donation services who intend to use the two-stage Mobile Originating Short Message Service to obtain consumer consent to charge, sufficient time to make the necessary changes to their television and print advertisements to ensure compliance with the new Special conditions. This represents an approximately nine-week extension to the previous implementation date of 1 November 2019.
