Following a period of public consultation, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ has published its distribution policy setting out seven high level conditions for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s distribution activity.
These conditions govern the way the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ distributes its services and content on third party distribution platforms:
- Prominence - the placement of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content and services relative to those of other providers should be in line with audience needs and expectations
- Editorial control - the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ should retain editorial control of its content and its placement
- Branding and attribution - users should be able to easily identify which content on a platform is provided by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ
- Quality - users should be able to enjoy a high quality experience of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content and services
- Data - the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ should have access to data about the usage of its services
- Free access - users should incur no incremental cost to access Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ content and services
- Value for money - Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ distribution arrangements should maximise cost-effectiveness of distribution to the licence fee payer.
The publication of this policy is a requirement of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's current regulatory framework.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's process for dealing with requests for distribution is set out in a separate guidance document. The current version of that guidance document can be found below.
