You stay classy, High Wycombe: Get ready for local TV

Are you all excited about the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s plans to introduce local TV? It’s a story that’s been making headlines since the idea was first mooted back a the start of 2011. More recently, the proposals have been fleshed out with Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt announcing this autumn that a sixth terrestrial TV channel could be launched before the end of 2012; it will be broadcast nationally but there will be heavy localised content specific to different regions too. A further ten to 15 local services are hoped to launch before 2015.
