The ITC licenses and regulates commercial television services in the UK except S4C in Wales. We put viewers first by setting and maintaining standards for programmes, advertising and technical quality.

ITC - Putting Viewers First  

As our name suggests, we’re independent of the Government and of the broadcasters. We are funded by fees from our licensees, of which there are around 300 who between them hold nearly 600 licences.

On 29 December 2003 the duties of the Independent Television Commission and all responsibility for regulating commercial television will transfer to Ofcom, the new converged regulator for the communications sector.

See the Ofcom website at www.ofcom.org.uk for more details
