Description
'Tabloids, Top Gear and Tasters: The Authority for Television on Demand and the Scope of Broadcasting Regulation' This year’s conference takes place three years after the new co-regulatory system for on-demand AV media services came into force in the UK. In that period, hundreds of service providers have come into contact with the relaunched Authority for Television on Demand (ATVOD). Many of them have notified ATVOD of their services and are now regulated by it. Others have challenged the idea that they fall within the scope of the amended Communications Act and the Audiovisual Media Services Directive; Ofcom, as the overall authority, has heard appeals on issues including the status of AV material on newspaper websites, editorial responsibility, conditional access and the protection of minors, and interpreting the Directive’s tests on ‘TV-like’ content and user expectations. A small number of cases on violations of the substantive regulatory requirements also exist.| Period | Apr 2013 |
