New aimm Board announced

We are pleased to announce our new 2024 aimm Board.

This year we had 3 Board members who had reached their term from Donr, ITV and sb7.

We are pleased that our members from both Donr and ITV have decided to restand and will continue on in their positions on the Board. We are thrilled that a new member from sb7 has decided to take up the mantle going forwards and will be joining the Board in April. We are also happy that BBC Children in Need will also continue to represent the charity sector at the Board meetings.

We are pleased to continue working with our Board members from across the value chain, who have been tireless in their support of aimm, and continue to drive our mission and focus forward.

Our next Board meeting will be in mid-April where we will have the opportunity to welcome our new members and look at our focus for the coming year.

Ofcom releases their Consultation

Ofcom logoOn the 21st November Ofcom released their much anticipated Consultation which can be found below for reference

OFCOM CONSULTATION

This consultation sets out Ofcom’s proposals in effect to transfer the regulatory functions of the PSA to Ofcom, including associated proposed changes to the regulation of controlled PRS (CPRS). Under these proposals, they intend to withdraw their approval for Code 15 and replace it with their own set of rules in an order that they propose to make under section 122 of the Act (draft PRS Order). When the PRS Order comes into force, Ofcom will assume day-to-day responsibility as regulator and enforcer of PRS regulation.

We are running a series of Consultation Workshops for our members, so they can provide feedback and thoughts on this paper before the deadline on the 23rd January. aimm will be submitting a response on behalf of our membership based on the feedback from these Workshops.
