  • On 15 December 2014, the United Kingdom media regulator Ofcom published two reports. One, entitled Public Sector Broadcast Annual Report 2014 (the First Report), reviewed the UK Public Sector Broadcasters (PSBs) performance since 2008. The remits of PSB channels, such as ITV and Channel 4, are defined under section 265 of the Communications Act 2003; part 2 of Schedule 12 of the 2003 Act is the relevant part for the Welsh Channel S4C and the public purpose of the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is described in the BBC Charter, due for renewal in 2016. The second Report, entitled Public Service Content in a Connected Society (the Second Report), is a consultation report about the future development of PSB. The closing date for responses is 26 February 2015.
