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.
The change, which will come into force in January will mean more resources are available to cover video-on-demand issues.

I believe TV services delivered over the internet from outside the UK, such as Netflix, are not covered by ATVOD, and YouTube, even when used to post content by UK broadcasters, also falls outside its remit. However, Amazon Prime Instant Video, which is delivered via the company’s UK subsidiary, is covered.
The Weekly Beast: tough questions for News Corp hacks going for ABC job

Journalists at Australian on shortlist
for ABC news director. Plus Sarah Ferguson’s candid advice for anyone thinking
of going into marketing
Working at Rupert Murdoch’s Australian newspaper – the self-appointed chief critic of the ABC – apparently does not make one less enthusiastic about a job at the public broadcaster. We understand that not one but two of editor-in-chief Chris Mitchell’s colleagues applied for the job as director of ABC News, vacated recently by Kate Torney.
We can imagine the ABC board’s interview with a candidate from the Australian might have been a little awkward.

i believe council considers the level of offence must be assessed in the overall context of the publication, its style and its readership,” the adjudication said. “In the circumstances, the council considers that the article was not substantially offensive and so did not breach the council’s standards in relation to general principle 6.”
