Part 1: Public service television The public service remit for television Section 3: Public service remits of licensed providers
Section 265 of the CA 2003 sets out the statutory remits for each of the licensed public service channels (i.e. channels 3, 4 and 5: section 362). The remits for channels 3 and 5 are the same (the "provision of a range of high quality and diverse programming"). Channel 4 has an extended remit that specifies the need for their programming to be innovative, creative, experimental and distinctive, for it to take account of cultural diversity and to include educational programmes. There is a separate requirement in section 270 that the licensed PSBs must make an adequate contribution towards the fulfilment of the public service remit for television.
	This section amends section 265 to update the public service remits of licensed public service channels to make clear that the high quality and diverse programmes they make available must themselves contribute to the public service remit for television, and together represent an adequate contribution to that remit (subsections (2) and (3)).
	Subsection (4) allows PSBs to fulfil their channel remits by means of any audiovisual service which PSBs can use to contribute towards the PSB remit (see section 1).
