Ofcom to take on regulation of video-on-demand services

Ofcom to regulate services such as Channel 4's All4 and Sky's Now TV, which were previously overseen by ATVOD

Video-on-demand services including Channel 4's All4 and Sky's Now TV will be regulated by broadcast and communications regulator Ofcom.

Currently TV-like services delivered over the internet are regulated by a separate body authorised by Ofcom, the Authority for Television On Demand (ATVOD), which follows similar rules. These rules will still apply, but be overseen by Ofcom.
