What does Ofcom do for the BBC?

As the new external regulator, Ofcom will bring its experience of regulating the wider broadcast and communications sector at a time of increasing convergence. Ofcom already has roles across many of the BBC’s services, from content standards to competition. These new responsibilities broaden the scope of Ofcom’s existing work.

What areas does Ofcom regulate?

Some of the main areas Ofcom regulates are TV and radio standards, broadband and phones, video-sharing platforms online, the wireless spectrum and postal services. The regulator was initially established by the Office of Communications Act 2002 and received its full authority from the Communications Act 2003.
