The £125.0m (2018/19: £124.3m) of income received in 2019/20 covers Ofcom’s core responsibilities (excluding Spectrum Clearance). As part of this, we also received £0.7m of grant funding from Innovate UK under the Regulators Pioneer Fund, for innovative work on the use of blockchain for UK telephone number management.
This is Ofcom’s sixth Annual Report on the BBC in which we assess the BBC’s performance against all areas of our regulation and set out how we have carried out our role. We are responsible for holding the BBC to account on behalf of audiences by providing fair, robust and independent regulation.
We have also seen a change of Chief Executive during the reporting period, with Jonathan Oxley having taken over as Chief Executive on an interim basis from Sharon White in late November 2019. We are deeply grateful to Sharon for all that she has done in developing Ofcom’s progressive approach and real sense of direction.
The future financing of Ofcom’s liabilities is met through annual sector tarifs from regulated stakeholders and from WTA receipts retention collected through the Section 400 accounts and retained by Ofcom to fund spectrum related activities together with other non-tarif funded activities, as set out in Section 401 of the Communication Act.
