The BBC’s plans to offer all its TV and radio shows on-demand via the internet and cable TV have been criticised by the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom.
Ofcom said that certain aspects of the BBC’s on-demand service, which is due to start later this year, could have a “negative effect” on commercial rivals.
It added that while the BBC’s plans would boost interest in rival services, it would likely limit their investment.
Ofcom said such an outcome “would not be in the long-term public interest”.
