Ofcom consults on proposed review of financial terms for channel 3 licences

Ofcom has announced a consultation into a proposed valuation methodology for the reviews of financial terms for Channel 3 (ITV) licences.
The new approach is aimed at determining a fair value for each licence as well as bringing clarity and transparency to the process.
The financial reviews will allow Ofcom to reflect any changes to licence holders' public service obligations that may result from its review into Public Service Broadcasting, to be completed this year. The financial reviews will also allow Ofcom to reflect in the valuation any obligations on licensees related to digital switchover.
Responses are invited by August 6 2004. Ofcom intends to publish a statement on the results of the consultation, including a decision on the final methodology for the reviews, in September 2004.
