Recommendation
Current requirements on PSBs have generated a thriving production economy that has attracted the attention of streaming services, but the rise of video on demand is putting pressure on the Terms of Trade. Subscription video on demand services should invest in the production ecology as well as benefit from it, but any move to reform the Terms of Trade must take into account the diverging business models of the different commissioners in the UK production ecology. (Paragraph 72) Regulation and legislation

Deferred
As the Committee’s report demonstrates, the relationship between PSBs and subscription video on demand services (SVoDs) is not straightforward, particularly where PSB content is hosted on streaming services. It is the Government’s view that the issues the Committee has identified relating to brand attribution and data sharing are a matter for contractual negotiations in the first instance. In this context, PSBs themselves are best placed to determine the value they place on both attribution and data access during negotiations where they are the rights holder. The Government will however keep this under review.
