	Broadcasting Standards Council/Commission
		In Britain, the government responded to perceived public concerns of this kind by establishing a Broadcasting Standards Council, on a pre-statutory basis in 1988 and as a statutory body under the Broadcasting Act of 1990.
		Second, the council's "philosophy" of standards is not one-sidedly illiberal.
		In 1996, a bill was introduced into Parliament to merge the BSC with the Programme Complaints Commission, which, since its statutory establishment in 1982, had considered complaints arising from alleged unfairness toward people appearing in or dealt with in programs and alleged invasions of privacy.

	Trail of Guilt Adjudication
		It is, too, a matter for regret that the Broadcasting Standards Commission refused to consider part of the evidence submitted because an internal deadline had passed.
		The Commission notes that Trail of Guilt's intention was to recount the forensic evidence in the investigation of Billie-Jo Jenkins' murder.
		Nor does the Commission consider that it was incumbent on the BBC to refer to Professor Denison's work as this was outside the scope of the programme.

		I think what the BSC is saying to broadcasters at that point (when a complaint is upheld) is 'this is where we believe at this moment the line runs....
		Before the BSC was established it was self evident, from dealings with those in the broadcasting industry, that public criticism about taste and decency issues was not being taken seriously.
		The Commission's own research, published in October 1997, concluded that the number of sex scenes in 'soaps' had trebled in three years and that parents are worried about the amount of sex, bad language and violence shown before the 9pm Watershed.

		Broadcasters have a responsibility to avoid unfairness to individuals or organisations features in programmes in particular through the use of inaccurate information or distortion, for example, by the unfair selection or juxtaposition of material taken out of context, whether specially recorded for a programme, or taken from library or other sources.
		From the outset, broadcasters should ensure that all programme-makers, whether in-house or independent, understand the need to be straightforward and fair in their dealings with potential participants in factual programmes, in particular by making clear, wherever practicable, the nature of the programme and its purpose and, whenever appropriate, the nature of their contractual rights.
		Broadcasters should take care not to reveal the identity of a person who has died, or victims of accidents or violent crimes unless and until it is clear that the next of kin have been informed.

		However, it should be noted that the Broadcasting Act should be observed for all channels and that the BBC is required in the Agreement associated with its Charter not to broadcast programmes which 'includes anything which offends against good taste or decency'.
		It is noted that the BSC states that it is the responsibility of the programme-makers and broadcasters to explain their policies clearly for the audience and that the most frequent reason for offence being caused is when expectations have been flouted.
		This is an extremely good example of the BSC seizing and emphasising an area of research, which appears to benefit the broadcaster, whilst ignoring other research such as a majority vote for the non-acceptance of swearing in serious drama.

	Bishop Seán Manchester - Complaints Upheld Against Talksport & 101.4 Angel FM
		The Commission notes that the intention of 101.4 Angel FM had been to clarify Bishop Manchester’s position and that they had not intended to suggest that he was not a real bishop.
		The Commission further notes that the announcement was prepared only during the live transmission [of an interview recorded some weeks earlier] and the broadcaster’s admission that “confusion” as to his status could have been avoided had wider research been conducted.
		In the Commission’s view, the back announcement was unfair in that it did not reflect Bishop Manchester’s status as a properly consecrated bishop of the Old Catholic Church, unjustifiably raising doubts in listeners’ minds as to his standing.

	Broadcasting Standards Council
		Nevertheless, you should note that, according to its own publications, 'broadcasters are required to give general effect to the Code's provisions in their own codes and guidelines' and, where complaints from the public are concerned, 'the Council has the power to require the broadcaster to publish its Findings in the Press or on air'.
		The BSC is charged with monitoring the representation in television and radio of a range of issues relating to taste and decency, including sex, violence, language, stereotyping and the coverage of disasters.
		Under the Broadcasting Act 1990, the BSC is required to carry out research into the effects of broadcasting.

	Canadian Broadcast Standards Council
		Such standards may consist of certain criteria or guidelines that are agreed to and applied on a voluntary basis.
		Reliance by the Commission on voluntary standards is only possible if broadcasters accept a greater degree of responsibility for ensuring that the objectives of the Broadcasting Act are met and that the Canadian broadcasting system is operated in the public interest.
		In developing the proposed standard, the industry should address the concerns which led the Commission to request that a standard be developed.

	Henry Lincoln - Broadcasting Standards Commission, 1997
		In the Commission's view, the decision not to interview Mr Lincoln was not unreasonable or unfair.
		In the Commission's view, the programme's extracts from Mr Lincoln's early work, clearly signposted as such, were not presented in a misleading manner, did not misrepresent him and were not unfair.
		The Commission notes from the transcript that both the question posed in 1974 and that asked by the ‘Timewatch’ narrator in 1996 related to the part allegedly played in the mystery by secret societies.

	The Official Graham Hancock Website: The BBC Horizon Scandal
		The complaint upheld by the BSC specifically concerned Horizon's unfair representation of the Giza-Orion Correlation Theory, a linchpin of the wider theories of Hancock and Bauval regarding the possibility of a forgotten chapter in the history of human civilisation.
		My original complaint to the Broadcasting Standards Commission dated 7 December 1999 was wide-ranging but at its heart were two points of unfairness which I considered to be really serious and substantive - in the sense that it would be a strong judgement against the conduct of the Horizon production team if either were upheld.
		I lodged a formal complaint with the BBC and the Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC).

	Independent Broadcasting Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) was the regulatory body in the United Kingdom for commercial television (ITV and Channel 4 - cable and satellite television were the responsibility of the Cable Authority) and radio broadcasts.
		The IBA came into being when the Sound Broadcasting Act 1972 gave the Independent Television Authority responsibility for organising the new Independent Local Radio (ILR) stations.
		It was disbanded as part of the Broadcasting Act 1990, being replaced by the Independent Television Commission (ITC), the Broadcasting Standards Commission (BSC) and the Radio Authority (RAu), which have since been replaced with one regulator, Ofcom.

		Broadcasters will instead be expected to exercise greater responsibility for ensuring adult viewers and listeners are informed about the contents of programmes.
		Factors to be considered would include audience expectation, the type of programme, the channel upon which it is broadcast and the time of broadcast.
		Sponsorship rules: Whilst the principle of editorial independence and commercial transparency remains paramount, the rules to achieve this have been reduced to the minimum necessary, with the broadcasters given greater freedom to operate within clearly defined limits.

		The new body has taken over the functions of the old Broadcasting Standards Council (BSC) which was set up by the Government to monitor sex and violence on radio and television and the Broadcasting Complaints Commission which dealt with complaints in relation to unjust or unfair treatment and unwarranted infringements of privacy.
		Complaints of unjust or unfair treatment or unwarranted infringements of privacy in, or in connection with, the obtaining of material included in sound or television broadcasts, may be made by a person affected - fairness complaints.
		The Commission cannot order the payment of any money to the complainant, but can insist on the responsible body publishing the Commission's findings and, more significantly, can insist on an approved summary being broadcast within a stipulated time.

	BECTU's response to inquiry into audiovisual communications and regulation of broadcasting
		The convergence of the broadcasting, telecommunications and computer sectors through the application of common digital technology is causing widespread interest both at industry and governmental level throughout all the developed economies.
		Broadcasting - which from our perspective is primarily about content rather than form, about software rather than hardware, about programming rather than transmission technology - is and will remain significantly distinct for the foreseeable future.
		We believe that one key reason why broadcasting is and should remain distinctive for regulatory purposes is the democratic, social and cultural role of the media.

	Dr LAURENCE RAW, "Media Ethics and Media Regulation in Britain"
		The Press Complaints Commission is an independent organisation set up in 1991 to ensure that British newspapers and magazines follow the letter and spirit of an ethical Code of Practice dealing with issues such as inaccuracy, privacy, misrepresentation and harassment.
		Its role is similar to that of the Press Complaints Commission, in that it functions as a forum for public concerns relating to the portrayal of sex and violence and matters of taste and decency in television and radio programmes, as well as unjust and unfair treatment and unwarranted infringement of privacy by broadcasters.
		Standards complaints concern the portrayal of violence or sexual conduct in programmes or failures on the part of programmes to attain standards of taste and decency.

	Your Rights: The Right of Free Expression: Controls on broadcasting, films, videos and cable: Introduction
		In 1993 the Government exercised its power to control what is broadcast by proscribing the Red Hot satellite channel, a carrier of pornographic material.
		Unlike newspapers which can openly propagate their own views, the television companies cannot editorialise on matters - other than broadcasting issues - which are politically or industrially controversial or relate to current public policy.
		Channel 4 was deliberately created to provide programmes calculated to appeal to tastes and interests not generally catered for by ITV, and to encourage innovation and experimentation in the form and content of programmes.

	The Official Graham Hancock Website: The BBC Horizon Scandal
		The Commission considers that, taken as a whole, both Mr Hancock's evidence for correlation and the evidence against it were well aired in the programme, and there was therefore no obligation to include a specific response on Manhattan.
		The Commission does not consider that the programme-makers were obliged to include Mr Hancock's suggestion that the Khmers had seen a serpent rather than a dragon in the stars, as this did not address the substantive point that the Draco constellation itself was unknown to them.
		On the age of the Great Sphinx, the Commission does not consider that the programme claimed or implied that Mr Hancock was the originator of the theory, based on calculations of rate of erosion, that the Sphinx is much older than most experts suppose.

		The Standards Panel listened to the programme in which callers had been encouraged to provide stories about the treatment of asylum seekers in comparison with the treatment of UK citizens.
		The Broadcasting Standards Commission found that LBC's programme had engaged in the 'active reinforcement of prejudiced views about asylum seekers.' The issue for the mayor is not to set any boundaries for Nick Ferrari's programme.
		It is that Nick Ferrari's programme, according to the Broadcasting Standards Commission, 'had exceeded acceptable boundaries for transmission.' It is the BSC's boundaries that have been exceeded, not the mayor's.
