Ofcom Update: Ofcom begins Market Impact Assessment of the BBC's proposed Gaelic Digital Service

Ofcom has today published its consultation on its Market Impact Assessment (MIA) for a proposed new Gaelic Digital Service.  The BBC is proposing to launch the channel, broadcasting for up to seven hours per day, seven days a week and including 1.5 hours of original programming.

 

Ofcom’s initial consideration of the Gaelic Digital Service proposal suggests it will not raise significant issues.  As such Ofcom is consulting on a simplified approach where it is hoped the MIA will be completed in less than the standard three month timeframe. The closing date for responses is 7 September 2007.
