The AIB has responded on behalf of its members to the UK’s media regulator’s proposals on Britain’s broadcasting code.

“The AIB is committed to ensuring that the views of international television and radio broadcasters are know by regulators around the world,” said Simon Spanswick, AIB Chief Executive. “We monitor plans for changes to established broadcasting regulation, let our members know what’s happening in markets they may operate in and then collate views and provide a unified response. It’s vital that as broadcasters develop services in new markets worldwide that they know about the regulation there, and planned changes that could have an impact on their business.”

The proposed Ofcom Broadcasting Code in Britain will replace separate codes that were implemented by Ofcom’s predecessors, the Broadcasting Standards Commission, the Independent Television Commission and the Radio Authority.
