Ofcom

Ofcom is a Uk regulatory body, that 'controls' television and radio.  It's job is to make sure that people in the UK get the best  out of their communication services, and that they're protected from scams. 
It also ensures that the UK has a wide range of high quality tv and radio programs that are diverse and interest all parts of the community, that it's audiences are protected from harmful and offensive material ( such as violence or nudity ). It also ensures privacy and the protection of people under the age of 18. 


Although it is responsible for the television and radio regulations, it is not responsible for the adverts shown or heard. The adverts are taken care of by another organization - ASA . It is also not responsible for inaccuracies on the BBC networks and BBC's license fees, and for press and magazines, the latter is taken care of by the PCC (Press Complaints Commission).
