A. Channel 4 and Five (and ITN which makes Channel 4 News and Sky which produces Five’s news), along with almost all other mainstream UK broadcasters are signatories to the Sports Access Code, an agreement whereby producers of sports material, news organisations and broadcasters have agreed, when fair dealing, only to use each others’ sports footage in clearly defined ways. Whenever it is intended to fair deal sports material, it is essential programme-makers take advice from their relevant programme lawyer.
