Younger adults in the UK now watch almost seven times less scheduled TV than those aged 65 and over, Ofcom has found, as the generation gap in media habits reaches a record high.

Ofcom has found that RT’s news and current affairs coverage in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine breached due impartiality rules on 29 occasions in four days.

According to Ofcom, the BBC “must be much more open and clearer with audiences about how it handles their complaints, responds to concerns and meets viewers’ and listeners’ needs.”

The UK government announced that the big streaming companies will be regulated by Ofcom in the same way that big broadcasters are.

The decision comes amid 29 ongoing investigations by Ofcom into the due impartiality of RT’s news and current affairs coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
