Introduction

Parliament has asked us (Ofcom), the communications regulator, to review the effectiveness of public service television broadcasting and to report on how it can be maintained and strengthened. This is the first phase of our review. It sets out our initial conclusions about the effectiveness of broadcasting on the main terrestrial TV channels, and our initial views on how to maintain and strengthen the quality of public service broadcasting in a changing market, as we move into a fully digital world.
