Proposed legislation will enact reform to keep the UK’s public service broadcasters “at the top of their game” and “level the playing field” by removing threats to their sustainability, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer is expected to say.
The Media Bill, which has its second reading in the House of Commons on Tuesday, will update decades-old laws to ensure viewers can more easily discover public service broadcast (PSB) services such as BBC iPlayer and ITVX on smart TVs, set-top boxes and streaming sticks.
