Distribution

How we govern the ways in which the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ distributes its services and content of third-party platforms

Following a period of public consultation, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has published its distribution policy setting out seven high level conditions for the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½’s distribution activity.

These conditions govern the way the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ distributes its services and content on third party distribution platforms:

  • Prominence - the placement of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ content and services relative to those of other providers should be in line with audience needs and expectations
  • Editorial control - the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ should retain editorial control of its content and its placement
  • Branding and attribution - users should be able to easily identify which content on a platform is provided by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
  • Quality - users should be able to enjoy a high quality experience of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ content and services
  • Data - the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ should have access to data about the usage of its services
  • Free access - users should incur no incremental cost to access ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ content and services
  • Value for money - ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ distribution arrangements should maximise cost-effectiveness of distribution to the licence fee payer.

The publication of this policy is a requirement of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s current regulatory framework.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s process for dealing with requests for distribution is set out in a separate guidance document. The current version of that guidance document can be found below.
