<p>The UK Government is committed to ensuring that young listeners and viewers benefit
from a modern system of public service broadcasting (PSB) that remains relevant and
can continue to meet the needs of UK audiences in the future. That is why we are conducting
a strategic review of PSB – drawing on the work of Ofcom, the Select Committees in
both Houses of Parliament, and the government’s own expert PSB Advisory Panel – to
work out how best to achieve this in light of the challenges the sector is currently
facing.</p><p>The three-year pilot Young Audiences Content Fund was designed to test
a new way of financing public service TV content. A full evaluation of the pilot Fund
will take place following its conclusion to determine its impact on the children’s
television industry and the provision and plurality of public service content for
young audiences across the UK. The potential of further investment of public funding
will be assessed against the Fund evaluation and alongside future public service broadcasting
needs.</p><p> </p>
