ITV in trouble over failure to meet regional quota

By colinc

Ofcom has threatened ITV with action over the broadcaster’s failure to meet its out-of-London production quota, according to the regulator’s report on nations and regions.

The watchdog could fine ITV, shorten or revoke its licence.

The broadcaster is also planning to make 89 staff, mostly working in production, redundant from its offices in Manchester and Leeds, according to Broadcast.
