The Competition Commission (CC) has published its provisional findings on a proposed joint venture, “Project Kangaroo”, between BBC Worldwide Limited (BBC), Channel Four Television Corporation (C4) and ITV plc. Project Kangaroo is designed to be an on-line video-on-demand content (VOD) service, providing internet users with access to the catalogue of BBC, ITV and C4 productions. The CC has provisionally found that the joint venture is likely to result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of UK TV VOD at both the wholesale and retail levels. The CC has opened a consultation into these provisional findings and any potential remedies.
