Steve P: If you are not in the Liverpool reception area, you get Liverpool TV, unless I guess you are between a mast and that city.

Adrian Tobin: This type of problem can happen when you have some form of Dolby system enabled on your set/receiver/hifi but do not the required extra speakers (in particular the dialogue) one.
If you can see a "Dolby" option, turn it off.

Alan J: The idea would be that the people working would be multiskilled, as it normal for TV reporters. They would write, film and edit the content.
To say that the content would be "unwatchable" is a bit presumptuous - most TV news reports are created in this way, but yes, there is a trade off in terms of costs to provide for the required localism.
People always say they want "local" (rather than "regional") news when asked. As there is no money to throw at these projects then they will have to work within a tight budget.
The above schedule was working on an assumption that people will "dip in" to the local channel for no more than 30 minutes at a time, just a few times a day.
The local channels are not required to compete with the existing channels, they will be providing something new - local news, reportage and information.
