Conclusion (the committee's words)
We support the UK Government’s proposal to extend the prominence regime for public service broadcasters to cover on-demand PSB content hosted on designated internet-enabled TV platforms. The technological developments driving the need for this change make this a time-sensitive reform, and representatives of public service broadcasters we heard from were unanimous in their assessment of its importance. The UK Government should bring forward this reform within the next two months, in line with our recommendation on the timing of debate on the wider Media Bill.
