A white paper says the government will move ahead with plans for a sale of Channel 4 and promises 'a new golden age of programming' for TV and radio lovers and regulations 'fit for the streaming age.'

Among the other goals cited in the white paper are “boosting” public service broadcasters and developing a streamlined remit for them that will replace a “complicated set of ‘purposes’ and ‘objectives’ from laws made in 2003,” with a new definition of what it means to be a PSB, including offering “distinctive, diverse British content” that reflects British culture, supporting homegrown film and TV production and providing “impartial and accurate news.
And sports rights are also in line for a closer look by the government. The white paper proposes that “the opportunity to secure rights to air TV’s major sporting events, such as the FIFA World Cup and Wimbledon, be made an exclusive PSB benefit via reforms to the listed events regime. A review will also look at adding digital and on-demand rights to the scheme to ensure free-to-view access for the nation when watching the ‘crown jewels’ of sport on digital platforms.
The government also wants to legislate to ensure PSB content “is always carried and easy to find for U.K. audiences on connected devices and major online platforms, including on smart TVs, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.”
