A copy of the Consultation document and the accompanying Kantar Media research report DTT Channel Numbering – an audience perspective are available below.

We welcome responses from all stakeholders by 5pm on Thursday 24 May 2012.

DMOL Interim Changes to the Adult and Local TV Genres

On 11 April 2012 DMOL confirmed that:

  1. It is necessary to reunite the two parts of the Adult genre into one block in the LCN 91 to 100 range, and that
  2. The Local TV genre will move from LCN 200 to the LCN 75 to 79 range.

These changes will take place on Monday 16 April 2012 in order to ensure that the c.18% of UK TV households who are re-tuning for London switchover pick up the changes to the LCNs of the adult services.

These two changes are an interim solution intended to keep channel changes to a minimum consistent with meeting Ofcom's immediate concern to ensure that there is a clearly signposted single block of adult content after all the television services. DMOL's longer term proposals for the positioning of adult and local channels are contained within the full DMOL LCN Consultation that was published to this website on Thursday 29 March. Responses are requested by 24 May.
