Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2018)
Good to see Ofcom at last recognising that there is no longer any reason to bar pay-tv channels from being able to broadcast more adult material during the day, given the availability of pins.

Post-watershed TV programmes will be allowed to be broadcast earlier in the day following a decision by Ofcom.


The broadcast regulator confirmed today its decision to extend use of an audience safeguard called 'mandatory daytime protection', which requires some programmes to be unlocked using a PIN code.


Currently, Ofcom's Broadcasting Code already allows 15-rated films to broadcast during the day on premium pay TV channels and up to 18-rated films on pay-per-view channels, providing they are protected by a mandatory PIN code, which can't be bypassed or removed by viewers.

From 1st January 2019, this scheme will be extended to cover all other types of programme that would normally not be allowed to be shown on UK television channels before 9pm.
