Part 1: Public service television The public service remit for television Section 6: Enforcement of public service remits
Section 270 of the CA 2003 gives OFCOM specific enforcement powers to use in the event they believe the provider of a licensed public service channel (i.e. channels 3, 4 and 5: section 362) has failed to fulfil its statutory remit, or make an adequate contribution to the public service remit for television. If OFCOM determines that the situation requires the exercise of their powers, they can issue a direction to the licensed public service broadcaster setting out the steps for remedying the failure. If OFCOM remains dissatisfied they can then impose additional licence obligations on the public service broadcaster.
	This section amends section 270 to make clear that OFCOM can make directions and impose licence conditions in relation to any services which the public service broadcaster has indicated they are using to fulfil their channel remit (inserted subsections (4A) and (7A)).
	In light of the ability of licensed PSBs to use on-demand programme services to deliver their remits (see section 3), subsection (3) allows OFCOM to consider the record of the provider in relation to Part 4A (which relates to on-demand programme services) when considering enforcement action.
	In addition, subsections (2), (5), and (6) make changes consequential on section 3.
