I applied to be part of one of their reality shows through starnow, just don’t seem to be too much information about them online except for a twitter & fb plus site www.essex-tv.co.uk

I know they are all new coming in 2016 it would just be nice to know more !

Essex TV appears to be an upcoming Ofcom licensed local channel which will use the Sudbury and Mendlesham transmitters.

Sudbury I can understand, but Mendlesham ? Why, it's not an existing TV site, and it's in Suffolk, closer to Norfolk than Essex !

I suspect Mendlesham was added by an over enthusiastic Wiki contributor.

Is it normal for new TV channels that are pending to be so secretive and info comes in last minute ?

No, it's in Suffolk (just) but a great deal of the county of Essex use it for their TV reception, so it makes
perfect sense to use it for this service because existing aerials will receive it .

However the article says an 'IPTV' service, so it may well pop up on Freeview in the IPTV range on the EPG, but you need a suitably equipped receiver, connected to the internet to receive. The only part off air reception plays, is the EPG entry and stream 'pointer'.
