PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Public Service Broadcasting (11 July 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that viewers can easily find public service content outside of the main electronic programming guide.

Asked by:
Darren Jones (Labour)

The Government recognises the value and importance of high quality public service content and the need for this to be widely accessible to viewers. That is why under the Digital Economy Act 2017, Ofcom are required to publish a report which looks at the ease of finding and accessing PSB content across all platforms, including those outside of the main electronic programme guide. Ofcom will consult on this issue soon and the final report must be published before December 2020.
