The minister acknowledged that Sky had taken steps to reduce its retransmission fees, but urged them to go further, taking into account the contribution made by the PSBs and scrapping the fees altogether.


Last March the BBC saw the amount it pays to BSkyB fall by 30% following its agreement to add iPlayer content to Sky’s on demand service.
A new clause in BSkyB’s Published Price List reduced the amount paid by a public service broadcaster when one of its channels is contributing long form programming over broadband, on demand, to Sky DTH set-top boxes.
The move will reduced the amount paid by the corporation in Platform Contribution Charges for BBC One from £4,319,830 per annum to £3,171,460, while charges for the BBC News channel fell from £646,260 to £491,970 when the new charges came into effect on July 1, 2012."
