OFCOM
Ofcom is a communications regulator in the UK. They have created sets of rules and prerequisites to be able to regulate certain content that will be broadcasted.
- TV, Radio, Mobiles and Fixed Line Telecoms are regulated.
- Ofcom makes sure to protect people from scams and they help create competition between different mediums of communication.
- Ofcom acts under the Communications Act 2003 and they abide by the Acts of Parliament.
- One of the main purposes of Ofcom is to create interest within the audience by creating events and competitions.
- They enforce rules on to the sectors that Ofcom has a hold on.
- Ofcom is funded by communications mediums and broadcasting networks.
The main concern of Ofcom would most likely be the protection of the audience from any offensive content broadcasted on TV and on Radio. They also prevent unfair treatment on TV and radio programmes and that they provide a high range of TV and radio programmes that are made for the customers and making it as appealing as possible to the audience. Ofcom will also investigate authentic complaints and behaviour that breach the rules that Ofcom has specifically set out. Additionally, they work with the Office of Fair Trading to create competition laws.
