BBC Politics Show South East Reference: 942761 Jerin John Information Rights Adviser [email protected] 23 July 2020 Freedom of Information: Right to know request Thank you for your request for information in relation to the BBC One programme, BBC Politics Show South East. Your request was passed to the Information Requests team on 3 July and we have considered it under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the Act”). Your request In your correspondence with the Content Policy Team of 3 July, you asked whether there were Ofcom rules or regulations regarding the BBC programme BBC Politics Show South East, such that the company that makes it must be based in the BBC South East region, or directly employs people based in the BBC South East region or spends a certain amount of the budget in the BBC South East region. The Content Policy Team explained to you that, in relation to rules or regulations regarding regional programming, the BBC has quotas for the amount of regional programming it is required to broadcast. These quotas are set by us and can be found in regulatory condition 2.67 of the Operating Licence for the BBC’s UK Public Services document. In particular, regulatory condition 2.67.4 requires that, in respect of BBC One and BBC Two, the BBC must ensure that at least 95% of those programmes consist of programmes made in the nation or region in relation to which those programmes are to be of national or regional interest. In addition, paragraphs 5 and 12 of our regional programme Guidance sets out the criteria for how broadcasters determine whether a programme has been made in the region. You replied to this advice by asking for the following information: Could you then clarify whether the programme in question has been included, or not, by the BBC in the bundle of 95% of programmes about the regions that have been made in the region that the BBC presents to Ofcom? Following from my email of 6 July acknowledging your request, you provided some clarification: Page 1 of 3 To help Ofcom answer my question, for clarity I am asking about the time period from when the programme was contracted out to the company that currently makes it up to present. If the programme has been included in the 95% figure it would be good to know whether the BBC indicates which criteria of three have been met. Our response The information in scope of your request is information about a business (the BBC), which in this context is exempt under section 44 of the Act. Section 44 exempts disclosure of information if another enactment prohibits it. Ofcom considers that the enactment and specific provision which prohibit the disclosure of the requested information is section 393 of the Communications Act 2003. Section 393 prevents Ofcom from disclosing information about a particular business, which includes information we have gathered as part of our functions relating to regional programming, unless Ofcom has the consent of that business or Ofcom considers that disclosure would further the exercise of its functions.1 In the circumstances of this case, neither gateway to disclosure is engaged. Therefore, the information requested is exempt under section 44 of the Act. Section 44 is an absolute exemption and does not require a public interest test. Given that this is information about the BBC, you may wish to engage them with your queries surrounding this matter. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further queries, then please send them to [email protected] quoting the reference number above in any future communications. Yours sincerely, Jerin John 1 Section 393 of the Communications Act 2003 prohibits Ofcom from disclosing information “with respect to a particular business which has been obtained in exercise of a power”. The term “in exercise of a power” in the context of section 393 was considered in the Commissioner’s decision FS50187452 at paragraph 14: “Ofcom explained that in its view the term ‘in exercise of a power’ is wide and encompasses receiving, considering and responding to complaints in relation to potential breaches of the Broadcasting Code. The Commissioner agrees that section 393 is not limited to information Ofcom has obtained using its powers but also includes instances when Ofcom has been provided with information in light of its powers…”. Page 2 of 3 If you are unhappy with the response or level of service you have received in relation to your request from Ofcom, you may ask for an internal review. If you ask us for an internal review of our decision, it will be treated as a formal complaint and will be subject to an independent review within Ofcom. We will acknowledge the complaint and inform you of the date by which you might expect to be told the outcome. The following outcomes are possible: • the original decision is upheld; or • the original decision is reversed or modified. Timing If you wish to exercise your right to an internal review you should contact us within two months of the date of this letter. There is no statutory deadline for undertaking internal reviews and it will depend upon the complexity of the case. However, we aim to conclude all such reviews within 20 working days, and up to 40 working days in exceptional cases. We will keep you informed of the progress of any such review. If you wish to request an internal review, you should contact: Corporation Secretary Ofcom Riverside House 2a Southwark Bridge Road London SE1 9HA If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office Wycliffe House Water Lane Wilmslow Cheshire SK9 5AF Page 3 of 3 .

  • British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Is a British Public Service Broadcast- Ing Statutory Corporation
    ERICSSON/CREATIVE MERGER INQUIRY Summary of hearing with the British Broadcasting Corporation held on Thursday 21 November 2013 Background 1. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a British public service broadcast- ing statutory corporation. Its main responsibility is to provide impartial public service broadcasting in the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. It is headquartered at Broadcasting House in London and has major production centres in Salford Quays, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow, and smaller production centres throughout the UK. The BBC is the world’s oldest national broadcasting organization and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees, with about 23,000 staff. Playout requirements 2. The BBC had a number of network channels, with BBC One and Two the most high profile. These two channels had had nations and regional variations for many years. It had regional variations only on BBC One and had nations variations on both BBC One and BBC Two. Red Bee Media (RBM) was responsible for playing out the BBC network streams, whereas the BBC was responsible for playout in the nations and regions. 3. Regions were branded, for example BBC London or BBC South East, during the regional news or a small number of other regional programmes. The nations’ brand- ing was always in place, for example BBC One Scotland, with equivalent branding for Wales and Northern Ireland. The BBC did not want to be seen as just a London- centric organization, and the way the channels were presented with nations’ idents, graphics and voice-overs that reflected the nations’ identity was important to viewers and the BBC.

  • For Immediate Release March 18Th 2019 BBC South East
    For immediate release March 18th 2019 BBC South East Today features Focus SB In what’s been a turbulent time of political indecision and mounting tensions over the looming Brexit deadline, Focus SB found itself in the spotlight on the BBC for a second time in just over a year. Interviewed by BBC South East Today’s political editor Helen Catt, chairman Roger Kemp shared comment about the company’s strategy in the event of a potential ‘no deal’ Brexit. Interviewed on the ‘shop floor’ at Focus SB’s factory on 11th March, where Catt was able to view manufacturing of sockets and switches in progress, Focus SB’s chairman Mr Kemp explained how the company expected to be impacted by Brexit and what preparations were being made for a ‘deal’ or ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario. Kemp commented: “I think for us all we’ve managed to do is to do a bit of stockpiling, get some goods in, make sure we’re not held up. I think we’re more isolated than some because we don’t have a big market in Europe. The fallout for us will be what happens to the value of Sterling because that will affect the cost of our imports.” Not the first time that Focus SB has been featured by the BBC; on this occasion Focus SB was approached for a BBC Brexit special via local business support agencies instrumental in supporting the company’s successful entry into the China luxury construction market in October 2017. According to Philip Johnson, programme director at Locate East Sussex, the BBC had contacted the organisation urgently seeking companies to interview on the challenges of Brexit for a special news item.

  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society. If you are in production or development and would like other ideas for diverse presenters across all genres please feel free to get in touch with Mary Fitzpatrick Editorial Executive, Diversity via email: [email protected] Diverse On Screen Talent Directory Presenter Biographies Biographies Ace and Invisible Presenters, 1Xtra Category: 1Xtra Agent: Insanity Artists Agency Limited T: 020 7927 6222 W: www.insanityartists.co.uk 1Xtra's lunchtime DJs Ace and Invisible are on a high - the two 22-year-olds scooped the gold award for Daily Music Show of the Year at the 2004 Sony Radio Academy Awards.
