Local TV

Is it something to do with the location and how far the audience reach is?

It seems as though Brighton's LatestTV will have a green screen.

I have high hopes for 'That's TV'. Seeing as they occupy lots of the south - it would be nice to have a southern breakfast show with all of the That's TV areas.

I really hope that Latest TV, which has a similar demographic to London Live doesn't go down the hipster route.

@bbcmtd: BREAKING: Birmingham’s City TV has gone into administration. Receivers have been appointed to try to sell the local TV licence on.

Birmingham’s City TV is first of Hunt’s local television networks to go bust.

That's the last we'll see of that bit of the TV licence then - nice one Jeremy.

Two years and they haven't even got any studios or equipment sorted out. It was never going to get on air by November.

City TV: what could have been...

Imagine this! Would have looked forward to this programme. LOL
1:30pm Brum’s Strongest Nan
Nans from all over the city fuelled only by a diabetic amount of Baileys, sweet sherry and rosé wine compete for the coveted title in events such as Tossing the Grandkids, Car Wrestling, and the now infamous Headbutt Duel.
Hahahaha.

Surely it isn't their licence to sell on. It's one thing selling a company already broadcasting but surely OFCOM have safeguards in place so should a company go bust before they begin broadcasting the licence is withdrawn.

The way things are going the only station not to go bust would be STV Glasgow and Edinburgh.
