Broadcast Clearance Services for TV, Radio & Cinema
At Koala, we specialise in comprehensive broadcast clearance services for TV commercials, radio ads, and cinema advertising across the UK. With over 25 years of experience navigating the complex world of media compliance, we’ve helped thousands of clients across a wide range of industries get their campaigns approved for broadcast — on time and without compromise.
Our team works closely with Clearcast to manage the clearance of TV commercials, from the earliest stages of script development to the final clocked submission. We understand the nuances of Clearcast guidelines and know exactly what can cause delays or rejections. Whether you’re promoting a product in a heavily regulated sector such as gambling, alcohol, food and nutrition, healthcare, or financial services, we know how to shape creative work that meets regulatory standards while still delivering maximum impact. Our proactive approach means we identify potential issues early, provide expert guidance, and handle the entire process to ensure your ad is fully approved for UK television broadcast.
When it comes to radio advertising, we handle clearance through Radiocentre (previously known as RACC), ensuring your scripts comply with advertising codes before they go live on air. Radio scripts often require a precise balance between messaging and compliance, especially in industries with tighter restrictions. We liaise with Radiocentre to ensure your creative is approved without repeated edits, keeping your schedule and messaging intact.
For advertisers looking to hit the big screen, we also provide full-service cinema ad clearance, working with both the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) and the Cinema Advertising Association (CAA). Whether you’re running a nationwide cinema campaign or a more targeted local screening, we manage content classification and ensure your advert is suitable for the chosen audience rating. From mild edits to age-sensitive content, we help you navigate the process so your ad can be shown with confidence in any cinema across the UK.
Over the years, we’ve worked with clients across some of the most challenging sectors, clearing ads for alcohol brands, betting companies, food and supplement producers, pharmaceutical products, and more. These industries demand a deep understanding of broadcast codes and often involve complex disclaimers, visual considerations, or legal phrasing. Our team knows exactly how to meet those standards without watering down your creative concept.
What sets Koala apart is our commitment to delivering fast, reliable, and hands-on support. We don’t just manage paperwork — we act as your partner, ensuring your content stays compliant from start to finish. With more than two decades of industry insight, strong relationships with regulatory bodies, and a track record of successfully cleared campaigns, we’re trusted by agencies, brands, and broadcasters across the UK.
If you’re producing a TV, radio, or cinema campaign and need expert clearance support, Koala is here to help. We take the stress out of the process, giving you more time to focus on creativity while we handle the compliance.
