Hans King: Not that I can do much about it, but what TV programme are you referring to?

MikeB: I suspect that the issue you highlighted with the transmission of that film is that the Ofcom's duties in relation to Channel 4 only are to ensure that it is complying with it's remit, not that what it transmits has to be, say, "scientifically accurate" because that's not actually part of the rules.
Whilst I am in agreement with you about the issue: it is Channel 4 that was in error, not Ofcom. It is the Channel 4 remit that needs to be changed.
It just seems to me that the "oh, just use Ofcom" is actually a back-door attempt into meddling.
I'm still speechless about the Theresa May "Ofcom to pre-vet programmes" idea, but you can see how this isn't going to end well.

Fred Perkins: I thought I made it quite clear that the BBC Trust is a disaster. The words "The BBC Trust seems to be not really living up to expectations" start the article!
Where did I say that it was "independent" or "fit for purpose"?
I also never said that Ofcom had any current "jurisdiction" over the BBC at the moment?
You seem, somehow, to have read a different article from the one I wrote.

Chan-King: Hi. Only in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is the "local" news on the HD channel, in England viewers will normally tune to the SD version of the channel. The BBC does not have the money to expand the BBC One HD service because the TV Licence has been frozen.

michael: Ofcom don't "allow" Sky do this, they don't have any say in the amount that Sky charges. They have no powers to get involved. Ofcom can only work within the laws. Such a change would come from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) - Competition and Markets Authority - GOV.UK .
If you want to ask them to invesitage then there are forms here: Notify the CMA of anti-competitive or market issues - Publications - GOV.UK

I was going to write the Breakfast Time titles, but did the montage instead. Here is the text version...Seagulls calls over dark, moonlit seas above a fishing boat sailing left to right. A dark city street, fade to a first single light in a townhouse bedroom window fades to a girl still sleeping. Outside a man sweeps a city street, a man jogs along Brighton beach, lit only by the pier. The half moon is seen through tree branches. In a zoo, a lion yawns massively. The girl with her pink toy awakes and smiles, a train driver jumps into his Inter City 125 and a red Royal Mail truck speeds along a motorway, headlights ablaze. . A baker pulls four loaves from the oven, a farmer attaches milking machine to the cow's udders, the printer inspects a fresh tabloid paper in the printing press and finally a man in a white jumpsuit turns the lights on Concorde and the sun has now risen over the trees. In red the letters of BBC Breakfast Time arise, cut to bright blue and white CGI sky, the transparent logo rotates clockwise and flips to take the whole screen, flips again and turns to yellow, orange and red.
