“The Government are committed to supporting local television and we
very much hope to see an expansion of services in the future. We
envisage that local television will play a valuable role in keeping
communities informed and in particular, help keep in touch those most
socially isolated members of the community who may not have access, or
are uneasy about using new technology. Local television will also bring
economic benefits to areas in terms of employment and training....”
LORD McINTOSH, Minister for the Media and Heritage at DCMS, addressing
Scottish Local TV Forum 2005.
The ‘add/drop solution’ was initially proposed at the Scottish Local TV
Forum. It “offers the most consistent and convenient solution, and
potentially offers the widest reach for Local TV of all the terrestrial
options.”
