Our approach
In May 2024, the Media Act received Royal Assent and became law. This legislation is the biggest change to the public service media framework in two decades. It makes changes to Ofcom’s existing responsibilities as the UK’s regulator of broadcast media, – including:
- Updating the regulatory framework for commercial radio to secure important local content.
- Ensuring that the UK public service broadcasters (‘PSB’) can deliver obligations, such as quotas, wherever audiences expect them and not just on linear TV.
- Introducing new duties to secure prominence for PSB content and the accessibility of UK radio through voice assistants.
Since publishing our roadmap, we have been working alongside industry and government to prepare for our new duties. This section of our website will provide regular updates to keep stakeholders informed as we progress our work and act as a home for the consultations and other publications we will be publishing in the coming months.
