Following a period of public consultation, the ±«Óãtv has published its distribution policy setting out seven high level conditions for the ±«Óãtv’s distribution activity.
These conditions govern the way the ±«Óãtv distributes its services and content on third party distribution platforms:
- Prominence - the placement of ±«Óãtv content and services relative to those of other providers should be in line with audience needs and expectations
- Editorial control - the ±«Óãtv 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 ±«Óãtv
- Quality - users should be able to enjoy a high quality experience of ±«Óãtv content and services
- Data - the ±«Óãtv should have access to data about the usage of its services
- Free access - users should incur no incremental cost to access ±«Óãtv content and services
- Value for money - ±«Óãtv distribution arrangements should maximise cost-effectiveness of distribution to the licence fee payer.
The publication of this policy is a requirement of the ±«Óãtv's current regulatory framework.
The ±«Óãtv'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.
