Given the passage of V1417, Ofcom is no longer responsible for broadcasting; the relevant authority is the Broadcasting and Advertising Conduct Authority.

The watershed is currently voluntary anyway is it not?
I don't mind having the BBC funded from general taxation, though this does of course restrict people from choosing not to pay the cost. I do however disagree with the bill in that I do not want to see blatantly political advertising, and I don't see why ITV needs to change.

ITV plc monopolised what was essentially a feeder network of regional competitors. It led to complacency from regional stations and it weakened ties to localism.
In terms of political advertising, I believe it is ultimately in line with liberty to have the freedom to share the views you have in any arena.

Watershed isn't voluntary on television.

Does anyone really use ITV for local programmes?
I think I could perhaps support it so long as there was the requirement to declare that it was a political advert, like when the BBC announces it is showing a party political broadcast.

That doesn't really make sense then since I see 12-rated programmes airing in the day, though admittedly not on the main channels (like BBC, ITV etc.).

2. ITV was initially founded on the principle of providing public service content outside the BBC, with a more regionalist and localist remit. This manifested itself in programmes such as Tyne Tees' renowned local documentaries by Bill Grundy. Since the ITV plc merger, this remit has reduced significantly - the only local content you'll see is regional news programming on most ITV franchises. Reopening bidding gives a chance for local franchises to produce top quality content that can be consumed and enjoyed on a regionalist level.
3. I intend to clarify this clause prior to its second reading.

I’m not comfortable with a relaxation of political adversting on Tv, as Catus says a requirement to declare its a political advert would sway me, but I’m nonetheless still unsure.

Indeed, political advertising must remain regulated to prevent undue swaying, especially at this politically sensitive time.

Nay nay nay!!!!
Big nay on the Watershed, regardless of the points made in the notes, I feel we shouldn't be letting young children here such vulgarities.
Also nay regarding political advertising, I echo the Prime Minister's points on that.

Nay! I'm against funding the BBC licence fee by general tax, I'm against relaxing political advertising, I do not want political propaganda being shoved in our face, I'm against relaxing watershed rules and I'm fine with ITV as they are. I basically support the status quo.

1. In terms of 12-rated programmes airing during the day, those that are aired tend to follow the BACA's harm and offence guidelines (no swearing, no violence, etc). I'm simply of the view that children's ears are not as tender to this sort of thing as one would have you believe, and as such, these guidelines ought to be relaxed significantly.

2. I'm not too fussed in all honesty and I'm not convinced other people are either which is probably why the regional content ended.
3. I look forward to seeing the amended version.

Aye from me provided reference to political funding is removed and political adverts are required to be declared.
