Part 3: Television and Radio Services ETC — Chapter 4: Regulatory provisions

This section applies where a service is for the time being proscribed by an order under section 329.

The proscribed service is not to be included in—

a multiplex service; or
a cable package.

In this section "multiplex service" means a television multiplex service, a radio multiplex service or a general multiplex service.

In this section "cable package" means (subject to subsection (5)) a service by means of which programme services are packaged together with a view to their being distributed—

by means of an electronic communications service;
so as to be available for reception by members of the public in the United Kingdom; and
without the final delivery of the programme services to the persons to whom they are distributed being by wireless telegraphy.

Programme services distributed by means of an electronic communications service do not form part of a cable package if—

the distribution of those services forms only part of a service provided by means of that electronic communications service; and
the purposes for which the service of which it forms a part is provided do not consist wholly or mainly in making available television programmes or radio programmes (or both) for reception by members of the public.
