The IPA has written to the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Michael Heseltine, asking for reassurance that the DTI does not intend to overrule the latest ITC statement concerning TV sales limits. The statement said that the combination of The Time Exchange and Laser sales would represent a “significant excess over the 25% threshold” and would be “at variance with the earlier divestment undertaking given by Granada to the DTI earlier in the year.”
The IPA has said that it believes that should the DTI relax the 25% threshold following an appeal by Granada, that it would be “incompatible with the fair and effective competition which the Broadcasting Act is pledged to ensure.”
