DM Digital fails to provide recording to Ofcom

DM Digital has been found in breach for failing to provide a recording to media regulator Ofcom, who had requested it to investigate a viewer complaint.

The broadcaster instead provided a recording of the programme three working days after the deadline.

Ofcom said: “The Licensee did not acknowledge the request, nor did it provide the requested recording by the new deadline.”

The media regulator added: “In this instance Ofcom notes that DM Digital did provide the recording but failed to do so “forthwith” within the deadlines set by Ofcom. Ofcom therefore puts DM Digital on notice that the breach of Licence Condition 11(2)(b) recorded in this Finding raises further significant concerns about the effectiveness of its compliance procedures.”
