==United Kingdom== {{Expand section|date=June 2008}} Temporary low-power stations are allowed at times via a [[Restricted Service Licence]]. Since 2001, long-term LPFM licenses have been available in remote areas of the country. These are currently used for many establishments, including [[military base]]s, universities and hospitals with fixed boundaries.{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} On the 18th of June 2021, [[Ofcom]] (Office of Communications) began a trial of expanding the number of LPFM stations in the United Kingdom by issuing licenses to broadcast to many more hospitals and military bases. This was done in order to see if such broadcasts could be feasibly achieved in events where they would be needed without interfering with other broadcasts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-18 |title=Limited coverage FM restricted service radio trial licensing |url=https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/restricted-radio-services/limited-coverage-trial/ |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=www.ofcom.org.uk |language=en}}</ref>
