Well, perhaps, but what are you proposing to replace it with - a free for all would end up with just one or two groups completely dominating radio. People would cry foul and restriction of trade if a more muscular regulator was introduced. Usually the people calling for the abolition of Ofcom are people who want the former - I'm not sure that's what you want.
