Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ

Distribution

How we govern the ways in which the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ distributes its services and content of third-party platforms

Following a period of public consultation, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ has published its distribution policy setting out seven high level conditions for the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ’s distribution activity.

These conditions govern the way the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ distributes its services and content on third party distribution platforms:

  • Prominence - the placement of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ content and services relative to those of other providers should be in line with audience needs and expectations
  • Editorial control - the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ 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 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ
  • Quality - users should be able to enjoy a high quality experience of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ content and services
  • Data - the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ should have access to data about the usage of its services
  • Free access - users should incur no incremental cost to access Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ content and services
  • Value for money - Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ distribution arrangements should maximise cost-effectiveness of distribution to the licence fee payer.

The publication of this policy is a requirement of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's current regulatory framework.

The Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ'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.
