Regulator to look into use of freelancers and agencies to produce, create and broadcast content across UK
The competition watchdog has launched an investigation into a group of broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV, over their use of freelance staff and services.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it had “reasonable grounds to suspect one or more breaches of competition law” in the use of external services and non-permanent staff to produce, create and broadcast their TV content across the UK.
