Local TV on Freeview in Southampton has been awarded to the That's Solent bid.

The channel will appear on channel 8 for those able to receive the signal from the Rowridge transmitter, and will provide a service from 2013, it is hoped.

The service may also appear on channel 117 for Sky customers in the target area.
