As Ian Cheshire takes over from Michael Grade as OFCOM chair, now might be the time to wonder if a single agency dealing with both broadcast media & online content is still sensible?

We might argue that given both (broadly defined) channels deploy content which needs regulatory oversight, it should remain consolidated in a single regulator...

But, have the regulatory needs of these two channels have diverged somewhat... requiring a new Online Regulator (with real powers)?
