British Regulator Ofcom Demands BBC Reforms License To Avoid Becoming “Out Of Step” With Audience And Tech Developments
22.06.2022 - 12:03 / deadline.com
The BBC must reform its operating license to focus on online services or “become out of step with audience behavior and technology developments,” according to British media regulator Ofcom.
Failure to act “could stand in the way of the BBC’s transformation,” it added in a series of proposals set out today centered around modernizing the broadcaster’s operating license.
Ofcom’s report acknowledges the BBC remains “at the heart of the UK’s broadcasting sector” and has been transforming and modernizing its approach in the face of disruption brought about by global streaming services.
Broadly, this could be achieved by better incorporating online services such as streamer BBC iPlayer, audio service BBC Sounds and the BBC website; allowing the BBC more flexibility to respond to new audience needs (while ring-fencing quotas around areas such as news and current affairs programming); and “greater transparency” from the BBC.
Key to these changes would be making “important” content more easily discoverable on its online services, and reducing the focus on quotas for “at-risk” genres such as arts and music, religious programmes, content for children and comedy, and where original programs first run.
Among the proposals was a plan to drop the amount of original productions on arts channel BBC Four from 75% in peak/prime-time to 60% in ‘all hours.’ The channel is one of the services BBC Director General Tim Davie has earmarked to be cut as part of plans to save around £1.5B ($2B) over the next few years.
The regulator also also noted its own approach to regulation should change, moving away from a focus on TV and radio quotas and towards better acknowledgement of online audience behavior.
