Description

Excerpt from a press conference with National Heritage Secretary Virginia Bottomley following the publication of the UK Government’s Broadcasting Bill which aims to introduce deregulation and plurality in the industry. ITV companies will no longer be restricted to just licences - instead there’ll be a limit based on an audience ceiling of 15 percent.
