Licensed local TV services will gain appropriate prominence in electronic programme guide (EPG) listings enforceable through Ofcom‘s statutory code. This will manifest as a high channel number on the DTT platform. The Government anticipates that all local TV services, whether they are licensed under this scheme or carried separately on internet protocol television or video on demand, will have the opportunity of discoverability on the front page of all EPGs. For example, Sky has offered to provide front page yellow button access to Anytime+ customers; and Virgin Media is looking at the possibility of front page digital.
