Hi, I'm Ciaran and I am a new member! Well the first thing that I would like to post is about TV Restricted Service Licence. There is a local RSL in Derry called C9TV. I think it is doing very well. Have you got a local RSL in your area? Do you think it is very good? I think it is a brilliant idea for the ITC to do such a thing. What do you think?

It does do quite well I believe, I worked for them about 3 years ago when it was just starting and changed direction into something decent and worth watching!

I've never seen C9TV, but it does seem the most professional. Does anyone have any caps from any of the RSL's?

Come on, boy, pull yourself together! Being an ex-Media UK-er, you should have known that already, but I forgive you.

Really, did you work for Paul Boyle? I heard very bad stories about him, and he took all the credit for all the work even though it wasn't him who done anything. Then alot and alot of people left then, sadly

Nope, I didn't work for him, I joined after the whole Boyle farce was dealt with but did some frelance stuff wit the Boyles.

There were lots of stories about them, but I can't say much more than that!!!

They were part of a bid to try to re-take the C9 license a few weeks ago but failed and the current management kept it.

thank you!

you seem to have the wrong newsmonkey! I am an ex-media uk-er, but I never made the Pub meet! I didn't have the same username on that forum, which may explain it....

There are C9 captures on the TV Room, in the Channel X section, including their impressive series of recent idents, filmed in and around the city of Derry.

Great idents they are too - C9 have come on in leaps and bounds since I last saw it in May 2002. And it's the most successful RSL station in the UK too.

There's plans for a late night entertainment show, not some randomly put together music videos, but that's all I can really say at the moment.

Really! I hope it's going to be live becuase that's what C9 are lacking at the moment. Where did you hear this?

I'm not sure I like the idents. I can see what they're doing, but I don't like the way the logo stretches on screen differently everytime.

Are they any caps of other local channel on the net? Also, is there a list of RSL areas which are still free?
