Time to talk-back
By Janet Frawley
Ofcom have now completed their research into the state of the children’s television market and this will be presented to their Management and Board shortly. The current aim is to publish this research report on October 3rd. The results will feed into their full Public Service Broadcast Review early in 2008. Because kids’ TV is experiencing a period of great change in the media landscape, children’s programming will have a special category in this review.
When they publish their children’s PSB report they’ll also suggest broad policy options, for public response and debate. Save Kids’ TV will be responding with their own proposal for PSB provision for kids, and as part of the campaign we will keep you informed as to how you too can have your say.
