UK to rein in online platforms’ power in effort to protect public broadcasters

Ministers want to ensure prominence of channels such as BBC and ITV on smart televisions

...Ministers are to clear legislative time as soon as next year for an overhaul of broadcasting rules to guarantee the prominence of public service media (PSM) such as BBC, ITV, and Channel 4 on smart televisions, according to Whitehall officials. The measures will draw on recommendations to be published next month by Ofcom, the media regulator.

Tough enforcement powers would effectively insist internet-connected televisions carry PSM apps and content in prime positions on streaming interfaces, a requirement that strengthens the power of broadcasters in commercial negotiations with device makers and platform services, according to people familiar with the plans.
