Part 1: Public service television Programming quotas for public service television Section 11: Quotas: meaning of "qualifying audiovisual content" etc
This section inserts a new section 278B into the Communications Act 2003. This new section defines what is meant by a public service broadcaster "making available" "qualifying audiovisual content".
	Subsection (1) of the new section 278B defines "qualifying audiovisual content" as content included in a "qualifying audiovisual service" (see subsection (5)) .
	Subsection (2) of the new section provides the definition of "making available" qualifying audiovisual content. It establishes that, for PSBs to have made that content available, they must have provided it by a way of a "qualifying audiovisual service" they, or a person associated with them, provide (see subsection (5)). The content must be "free of charge", and, where it has been included in an on-demand programme service, it must have been included in that service for at least the period specified in 1 (30 days).
	Subsections (3) and (4) of the new section establish what it means to make something available "free of charge" for the purpose of this section.
	Subsection (5) provides the list of "qualifying audiovisual services". This includes television broadcasting services (broadly, the public service channels), and on-demand programme services which are, or form part of, designated internet programme services. Having consulted OFCOM, the Secretary of State may add additional audiovisual services to this by way of regulations. Such regulations are subject to the draft affirmative procedure (subsection (8)).
