Years and Years

Ofcom says,  'provisionally', that the BBC keeping programmes available on iPlayer for 12 months is a good thing. It says it will increase public value, particularly in extending the number of good quality programmes available for children, and shouldn't damage competitors two much.  The BBC will have to monitor and report on how it all works, and demonstrate that it's working in line with BBC promises. Ofcom also wants to know how this all fits with the promised Britbox streaming service. 

"Our provisional conclusions are therefore that the BBC may proceed with its proposal, subject to
the conditions and guidance. We are now consulting for four weeks until 10 July on our provisional
conclusions, and expect to publish a final decision by August."
