Italy: Authority for Communications Guarantees extended deadline for publishing list of entities subject to guidelines on prominence of audiovisual and radio media services of general interest

On 20 February 2025, the Authority for Communications Guarantees (AGCOM) extended the deadline for publishing a list of entities subject to AGCOM guidelines on the prominence of audiovisual and radio media services of general interest. The guidelines impose obligations to enhance the prominence of audio-visual and radio media services of general interest on user interfaces. Due to a high number of requests (1'163) and the need for further review of over 300 incomplete submissions, the deadline for publishing the list of general interest services has been extended to 15 May 2025. Consequently, the deadline for identifying device manufacturers and entities determining service presentation on user interfaces has also been extended to 15 May 2025.
