Broadcasting & Entertainment Law

Adapting to the changing landscape by successfully navigating rules and regulations in broadcasting

Introduction

Broadcasting forms a very large segment of the mass media and new distribution channels are constantly emerging. The media world, as a result, is facing continuous change in broadcasting rules and regulations.

The recent opinion of the Advocate General in the Greek Decoder case has paved the way for drastic change to the sports broadcasting rights regime, suggesting that “exclusivity rights” between the FA Premier League and broadcasters seriously impairs the freedom to provide services within the EU.

Chaired by Medwyn Jones of Harbottle & Lewis LLP, an exceptional speaker panel will guide you through these important changes, facilitating discussion of recent case law and legislative and regulatory changes.
