Change to Ofcom EPG rules

November 30, 2020 12.12 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Ofcom has confirmed minor changes to competition rules surrounding its code on Electronic Programme Guides (EPGs).

The media regulator says the way an EPG is designed and the way viewers interact with it can have a significant influence on the programmes they choose to view.

A review and consultation on the means EPG providers “must be transparent and provide reasonable timeframes for parties to comment and implement any changes”

Ofcom says the rule change is effective immediately.
