Ofcom (The Office Of Communications) are one of the biggest regulatory bodies for television within the United Kingdom and around the world. The Office Of Communications supervise television broadcasting and what I mean by this is they make sure all of the ownership's such as the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and ITV (Independent Television) don't air content that is against their regulation with Ofcom. Ofcom also make sure that every show the BBC screen as an example is at it's maximum quality and it is full professional content. In my opinion I think they do this because if a BBC episode isn't that great there could multiple or hundreds of complaints left on Ofcom's website about a specific episode. The Office Of Communications use the broadcasting code to analyze TV shows. They kind of use it as a rule book to help enforce their rules and television standards to specific ownership's. The broadcasting code exists to protect both viewers and listeners from harmful and imitating programme's that may teach young children to do bad things in society. However Ofcom also give producers the freedom to create some imitating programme's that might be very scary, therefore on the other hand most of the Ofcom's code is about protecting children because they think that is the most important thing and in my opinion I think the same way. And this is why Sky created a pin code to access some programme's that might be imitating and there is also a Watershed that starts at 21:00pm. Ofcom are also the one's that collect the complaints that have come in about specific TV shows screened by off of either public or commercial ownership's an example of this could be the Jamica Inn shown by the BBC again in 2014. Complaint's can be left on Ofcom like audio or quality complaints the public can also leave complaints about the acting on how it is so bad. Maybe because people cannot understand what a specific actor or actress is saying. Also Ofcom look for shows that might offend a certain religion or ethnicity, by doing this this can protect more under eighteen year old that might imitate something that is shown on TV such as racism. To conclude this I think one of the main things Ofcom does is try their hardest to protect under eighteen year old's from imitating programme's and my evidence for this is they have a whole section in the broadcasting code book which is called "Protecting the under eighteens".
