On Monday I was at the Scottish Local TV Forum in Perth which was also attended by Murdo Fraser MSP, Blair Jenkins and Dougie MacLean. The event was aimed at those interested in getting involved in shaping new TV services in Scotland. The UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport are currently consulting on a Local Media Action Plan to set out how Government will create the right conditions for local television to emerge in the UK.
Organisations or companies interested in providing a new network channel to support local TV services are invited to submit expressions of interest to DCMS by 01 March 2011 and more details can be found here.
