- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what progress is being made on local television in Nottingham.
[143153]
- Answer
-
We are very pleased with the progress made to put in place the structures to support the delivery of new local TV services.
In January, Ofcom awarded the local TV multiplex licence to Comux.
16 of the 19 local TV licences in Phase 1 have already been awarded—including the licence for Nottingham to Notts TV in November last year.
Ofcom is now in the final stages of awarding the remaining Phase 1 licences and anticipates that the first local TV services will be able to start broadcasting by the end of this year.
