As the BBC Trust explains:

The BBC is required to include Referendum Campaign and Party Political Broadcasts in some or all of its UK Public Broadcasting Services. There are currently no agreed criteria for Referendum Campaign Broadcasts (RCBs).

As a result, a consultation is currently being held on its draft criteria and the proposed system for handling complaints. The Trust is also consulting on the proposed editorial guidelines for the BBC’s coverage of the referendum. More details, including how to respond to these consultations, are on the BBC Trust website.

The consultation closes on Tuesday 7 December.

The plans so far are for “at least one” broadcast for each side in the referendum, with the exact number to be settled closer to the time.
