Part 1: Public service television Programming quotas for public service television Section 14: Regional programme-making: Channels 3, 4 and 5
Sections 286 and 288 of the CA 2003 provides that a minimum proportion of programmes made in the United Kingdom for showing on a licensed public service channel (i.e. channels 3, 4 and 5: section 362) are programmes made outside the M25 area (i.e. are regional productions). Comparable provision is made in respect of expenditure. The proportions for each licensed public service channel are determined by OFCOM.
	This section amends sections 286 and 288 to change the way in which the provider of a licensed public service channel may deliver their regional production quotas.
	Subsection (2) amends the regional production quota for the Channel 3 services. It changes references to programmes "made for viewing" on the relevant licensed public service channel with a more general reference to "qualifying audiovisual content" made available by the provider of that channel (see section 11). The amount of such content to be made available by the provider of each licensed public service channel is to be determined by OFCOM.
	Subsection (2) also replaces references to a "proportion" of hours which must be made available and "proportion" of expenditure with references to a "duration (in total)" and "amount" of expenditure respectively (also to be determined by OFCOM).
	Subsection (3) makes the comparable change for Channel 5, and subsections (7) and (8) amends section 288 of the CA 2003 to make the comparable change for Channel 4.
	Subsections (4), (5) and (9) make consequential amendments.
