Conclusion (the committee's words)
Giving regional prominence to both S4C and STV goes to the heart of what the Government is trying to achieve with this Bill: to ensure public service broadcasting is not only available on platforms but easy to find. Given the size of the revenues of those television selection services likely to be in scope of the legislation, we are not 48 Draft Media Bill:Final Report convinced that the technical issues raised by the industry are such that compliance on this issue would be a disproportionate or unreasonable requirement and so we support the inclusion of this provision in the Bill.
