(1) The Commission shall vary the licences under which the Channel 3 services and Channel 4 are provided in analogue form so as to include such conditions as appear to the Commission to be appropriate for imposing on the holders of such licences, in specified circumstances, an obligation to provide the relevant qualifying service and such other consequential and transitional provisions as the Commission may consider appropriate.
