Ofcom begins
public service television broadcasting review
Scope of the
review: The distinctions between content broadcast on traditional television and
those delivered on new platforms are increasingly blurred. So there is
potential for these new services to offer public service content. The scope of
Ofcomfs review will therefore include non-traditional audio-visual services
offered by the existing public service broadcasters on other platforms. It will
also examine the prospects for other broadcasters and online producers to
deliver content that meet public purposes. / Timetable: Phase 1 – Spring 2008,
Phase 2 – Autumn 2008, Finally, Ofcom will publish a final statement in early
2009

Select Committee on Communications
MEMO: role
of the chairman – article 8: the members of the BBC will never act as a single
corporate body, but only as members of the Trust; article 10: ultimate
responsibility of programming decisions – he (Sir Michael Lyons) could not
envisage a situation when he would ever ask to view any BBC output before it
was transmitted; Trust statement eThe primary responsibility for ensuring the
culture of the BBC properly reflects the requirements of public institution
which exists on the basis of trust rests with the senor management teamf; The
Trust and its Chairman have thus acted very much as a regulator / process of
appointment – Nolan rules; Ministers considerable opportunity to influence
the selection (appoint the selection panel, allowed to change the shortlists of
candidates, ultimately choose between four candidates who passed the interview
process); new Prime Ministerfs gdelegationh list does not include the position
of BBC Trust, request the non-binding hearing process as MPs are the only
democratically elected representatives of the licence fee payer / conditions
