RE: Ofcom Discussion
Ofcom's latest broadcasting bulletin came out today http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binarie...ue_302.pdf
I'm just having a quick look through it, i notice two babe channel broadcasters get a mention,
In the section titled "complaints assessed, not investigated" is Babestation X and Xpanded TV
The complaint about BSX is dated 15/03/2016, it's in the category of "out side of remit", it doesn't say what the complaint was about.
The complaint about Xpanded TV is dated 04/03/2016, it's in the category "race discrimination/offence.
Obviously with both channels being in the list of complaints assessed/ not investigated, Ofcom aren't investigating them .
So somebody made a complaint about racial discrimination concerning Xpanded .

It's a good question, but it's impossible to answer without knowing what the relationship between the UK and the EU would be following a Brexit.
If the UK left the EU but entered into a trade agreement with the EU it's likely that nothing would change, as the EU would probably require that their directives on free movement of goods and services be accepted as a condition for making the agreement.
But if the UK left the EU and didn't want to enter into any form of trade agreement with the EU, then the government and Ofcom would be free to ignore the EU's Audio-Visual Media Services Directive and make the UK's own policy on licensing matters.
The two questions would be what happens to licence holders that currently use a licence from elsewhere in the EU to broadcast in the UK and what happens to UK licence holders that currently use their UK licence to broadcast in other EU countries.
If the UK left the EU and didn't want to enter into any form of trade agreement with the EU, it's possible that some separate agreement could be made to mutually recognise each other's licences, i.e. to preserve the status quo for broadcasting alone.
