British Broadcasting Bosses Band Together To Urge Passing Of Media Bill Before Parliament Is Dissolved For General Election


The Media Bill has been urged to pass by BBC, ITV, Channel 4 before the General Election, which was called by Rishi Sunak yesterday.

The head honchos of all major British broadcasters have urged politicians to pass the Media Bill before a change of government. The bill includes updates in areas such as streamer regulation, prominence and will give Channel 4 the opportunity to own the rights to its own shows for the first time in its history.
