Joint Committee on Media, Tourism, Arts, Culture, Sport and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of the Online Safety and Media Regulation Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Mark Carpenter:

I am happy to answer on prominence. In a linear environment, we already have RTÉ at 101. Prominence is provided in that regard. In our catch-up menus, RTÉ's content is first, and it is followed by that of the other public service broadcasters.

It is already the case that on our platform those PSBs are in the most prominent positions in the cache of menus. I appreciate that, as others have touched on, there are a plethora of new ways of accessing content, but from a Sky perspective, we are comfortable that we are providing those PSBs with prominence and we are open to having conversations with them and with other people, such as members of the committee, on how that landscape is adapting and evolving and how the PSBs can continue to have the prominence on our platform they have now.
