[cma-l] Ofcom outlines plans for regulating the BBC’s performance

[CMA-L]

Ofcom is consulting on detailed proposals for how it will regulate the BBC’s
performance
<https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/category-1/bbc-performance>
under its new Royal Charter which outlines how it should deliver for
audiences.

Ofcom becomes the first independent, external regulator of the BBC on 3
April. Ofcom's role is to hold the Corporation to account against the
delivery of its public purposes while its new unitary board will govern and
run the BBC.

Ofcom will carefully monitor the BBC through annual performance reviews, a
‘health check’ halfway through the new 11-year Charter, and scrutiny of the
BBC’s forthcoming annual plan on how it will fulfil its requirements.

The new Charter sets clear objectives for the BBC to serve audiences, and
puts a sharpened focus on distinctive, creative and high quality programmes.

Ofcom's draft ‘operating licence
<https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0025/99520/bbc-draft-licence.pdf>’
sets clear requirements on the BBC that are achievable and affordable
within existing licence fee funding, and which will uphold the quality of
the BBC’s programmes.

The closing date for responses to the consultation is *17 July*.

Ofcom has also published a suite of other documents today, including
an ‘operating
framework
<https://www.ofcom.org.uk/consultations-and-statements/ofcom-and-the-bbc/the-operating-framework>’,
which sets out its regulatory approach for the BBC.

These are available to view on the Ofcom website
