Changes to listed events
Media Act Tracker
The draft Media Bill provides that listed events will become a PSB benefit.
Although this current listed events regime in reality applies to PSBs (given only PSBs satisfy the thresholds required to make content available to a large enough audience) with the increased availability of broadband and connected devices, it was possible that in the not too distant future a non-PSB service could achieve such thresholds. The draft Bill reserves listed events for PSBs.
