<p>The Government is determined to ensure that our public service broadcasters (PSBs)
can maintain their position as the beating heart of the UK’s hugely successful creative
economy.</p><p>On 28 April 2022 the government published its broadcasting White Paper
– Up Next – which sets out our vision for the sector. Rapid changes in technology,
viewing habits and the entrance of global players have introduced new challenges for
British broadcasters. Against that backdrop of rapid change, we need to take action
to support British broadcasters in meeting the most pressing of those challenges,
to protect our mixed ecology, and ensure our PSBs remain at the heart of our plans.</p><p>The
White Paper details how we will reform decades-old broadcasting laws to boost our
PSBs, including by delivering a new public service remit for television and making
sure public service content is always carried and easy to find for UK audiences on
connected devices and major online platforms. This will support the sustainability
of the PSB system, and ensure PSBs continue to provide audiences across the UK with
universally available, high quality programming.</p><p>We will take forward these
measures via a Media Bill when parliamentary time allows.</p><p> </p>
