- Ofcom has launched an investigation into "Power: The Downfall of Huw Edwards" under the "fairness and privacy" section of the regulator's Broadcasting Code.
- The two-part drama about Huw Edwards was produced for Skydance UK's Channel 5.
- The regulator declined to share further details about the probe or identify what specifically prompted the "fairness and privacy" concern.
Why it matters: Channel 5 and Skydance UK now face a formal Ofcom probe into how they dramatized Huw Edwards, with the regulator citing its Broadcasting Code as the framework. Ofcom's refusal to elaborate on the specific trigger signals the investigation is at an early stage, leaving Skydance UK unable to publicly respond to a clearly defined complaint.
