Not just one but TWO Made in Channels in this bulletin alone have been found in breach in what appears to be poor scheduling of programming for an adult audience before the watershed.
Oh my. These programmes on Big Centre (hate that name) are definitely public access quality stuff. Wow. Not sure who green lit the Sofa Club. Wow. The CuppaTv set is horrendous looks like its been lit with bedside lamps. Despite the fact that its clearly shot partly on the yoofs yammer show and the lighting is brighter. Oh wow. The "end of part x" is super old fashioned. Eek. Too bad so sad.

You couldn't make it up, could you?! Hysterical stuff. I also love (always have!) Ofcom's very dry reporting of the inappropriate scenes and swearing.
Not quite as good as Made in Leeds having a c-word moment minutes after the channel came on air, but very close. Say what you like about Local TV, but they've livened up the compliance bulletins!
It seems all Made channels are doing election debates this week. The first are available to view on their respective websites, and having taken a quick look it seems that Leeds, Bristol and Tyne & Wear had live debates in the more traditional style (candidates standing at podiums, moderator in front of them) whereas Cardiff took a more Question Time approach around a table.
Each programme had the same titles/graphics but with local images inserted.
The set up for Bristol, Newcastle and Cardiff can be seen here:
The Bristol one looks like a low budget daytime game show! Tyne & Wear is my favourite of the three.

Has anyone got any captures or video of That's Oxford (or Solent)? I'm interested as they are due to be the new operators of Manchester and I wondered what they were like. Thanks!
