51. Section 90JA of the Principal Act is amended-

   (a)  by omitting from sub-sub-paragraph (2) (c) (ii) (B) "effectively to

        pursuant to the licence";

   (b)  by omitting sub-paragraph (2) (c) (iii) and substituting the following
        sub-paragraph:



"(iii) if the licence to which the transaction relates is a non-metropolitan
commercial radio licence whose service area overlaps the service area of one
or more non-metropolitan commercial licences-the Tribunal is satisfied, having
regard to the need to avoid undue concentration of influence, whether direct
or indirect, on the companies holding those licences, that approval of the
transaction should be refused in whole or in part insofar as it affects the
applicant,";
