How to respond to this consultation

2.74 This report marks the end of Phase 2 of our review and takes account of the responses we received to our Phase 1 report. It seeks views on the conclusions we have come to and the questions we have raised. Section 8 summarises the questions for consultation.

2.75 We are seeking views from all organisations and individuals who have an interest in the future of public service broadcasting, including:

• viewers;
• television broadcasters, channels and platforms;
• production companies;
• other media organisations;
• organisations in sectors that have close ties to television (e.g. sport, the arts, film);
• anyone with a commercial or employment interest in the broadcasting industry (e.g. trade unions, trade associations);
• consumer groups;
• anyone concerned about the importance of television to the economy; and
• anyone concerned about the importance of television to citizens.

2.76 Responses will be used to inform Phase 3 of our review, and our final report.

2.77 The supporting documents to this report are available, alongside copies of our Phase 1 report and a summary of responses to it, from Ofcom's website at www.ofcom.org.uk. The website also contains links to the working papers we commissioned from other individuals and organisations during Phase 2.

2.79 If you are a representative body, please summarise the persons or organisations represented. Electronic versions of responses, in Word format, would be appreciated.

2.80 Any confidential parts of a response should be placed in a separate annex, so that non-confidential parts may be published along with the respondent's identity. If the whole of a response is confidential, including the name of the respondent, that should be clearly stated. Copyright in responses will be assumed to be relinquished unless specifically retained.

2.81 We would be grateful if respondents could complete the consultation cover sheet provided on our website - a sample is included in Annex C.

2.82 One of Ofcom's stated consultation principles is to allow ten weeks for responses. Since this is only an interim report, and represents the second of two major consultation exercises in the course of the PSB review, we have shortened this period slightly, to eight weeks.

2.83 See Annex C for a summary of Ofcom's stated consultation principles.
