Recommendation 17
17
Paragraph: 103
Acknowledge concerns about applying Broadcasting Code impartiality rules to Video-on-Demand services.
Conclusion
We recognise concerns that there are elements of the Broadcasting Code which do not translate well to a Video-on-Demand context, particularly how the due impartiality obligations will be managed in a non-linear environment. However, Ofcom is required to consult Tier 1 organisations before finalising the Code and so we anticipate that stakeholders’ concerns can be addressed prior to implementation. We agree that there needs to be more clarification but consider that this is best left to Ofcom’s consultation and therefore do not propose any change to the Bill.
