I do believe all of the concepts you have introduced on your post.
They're really convincing and can definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for starters.
Could you please lengthen them a little from subsequent
time? Thanks for the post.

I cannot understand why such little local news coverage and on location local reporting is permitted by Ofcom as their local coverage does not seem to match their original remit and as the channel originally started up to the start of the pandemic.

It seems unfair for one metropolitan district such as South Hampshire to have a tv station supposedly of local interest when the neighbouring metropolitan district hasn't. So given that there's a comment re lack of or any local content, it doesn't seem so bad that SE Dorsets' 450,000 potential viewers are missing out just as 25 years ago when C5 was beamed to So'ton & Portsmouth whilst even those in the west of the New Forest had little chance of receiving the puny signal from Fawley !

@Stephen
The local TV stations were created in places where frequencies could be allocated, rather than public need.
Local TV | free and easy for 21 years for more.

And of course where they thought it was commercially viable, ie a large enough urban conurbation where there could be a large enough audience?

Chris.SE: I think that was the idea. At the time I was quite supportive of this as an idea, but it seems that it was too late.
In the states the local programming is inserted into one of the networks, but that wasn't possible here with how our TV system was set up with Regions first.
I guess if they had been able to take something like Sky 3/Mix as a feeder for most of the time it might have worked up there at the top of the EPG.
It's a bit sad how it all worked out in the end.
