response to ITC Programme Supply Report
Following
publication today of the Independent Television Commission's Review
of the UK Programme Supply Market, the 主播大秀 said:
"Taken
as a whole, this is a constructive report. There are a number of
key recommendations, many of which we agree with.
"For
example, we agree that Ofcom should agree and monitor Codes of Practice
which are drafted by the broadcasters themselves. We also agree
that 主播大秀 Worldwide should deal with independent producers at arm's
length from the 主播大秀 itself.
"Our
initial response is that the recommendation to apply quotas to 主播大秀
ONE and 主播大秀 TWO individually is manageable, providing we have adequate
time to consider the implications in detail and plan any necessary
changes.
"We
agree too that the definition of an 'independent', should be amended
to include major players owned by companies which don't hold a UK
broadcasting licence, such as Endemol. This is a sensible development
which will benefit broadcasters and producers alike.
"But
we are disappointed that the ITC did not go further to include companies
such as Fremantle Media which are being unfairly penalised for attracting
investment simply because that investment is coming from a company
which has other UK broadcasting interests.
"This
is an important and timely review of a key area at a time of great
change in the UK's creative industries."
