EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order revokes the Multiplex Licence (Broadcasting of Programmes in Gaelic) Order 1996 and the 2008 Order, which amended it.
These Orders required OFCOM to secure a condition on certain multiplex licences, when the holders broadcast programmes for reception wholly or mainly in Scotland, that Gaelic programming be carried for at least 30 minutes per day between the hours of 6pm and 10.30pm.
An agreement has been reached between the BBC and MG ALBA for the carriage of BBC ALBA on Freeview. The Secretary of State now considers it unnecessary to require the provision of Gaelic programming.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on business, the public or voluntary sector is envisaged.
