Following on from the interesting broadcast and TV discussion, I wanted to
draw your attention to UK Sound TV and a job going there.
UK Sound TV calls itself a Broadband TV channel. Its run by a group of
young people from Roman Road in East London. Its content mirrors the
technology its using, networks both physical (the street) and virtual (the
internet). The channel is built on the now popular East London Grime/Garage
scene and was initially set up as a means of distributing music, visuals
and local street culture. Here's more - www.uksoundtv.com
