[cma-l] The Launch of Sheffield Live TV!

[CMA-L]

 Sheffield's local television channel Sheffield Live! Television will begin
broadcasting, via Freeview channel 8, Virgin Cable and the internet, on
Tuesday 23rd September.

The TV channel will broadcast news about Sheffield alongside programmes
covering Sheffield music, sport, culture and much more. It promises unique,
high quality content, *"Made in Sheffield, Made by you."* A flagship daily
news programme will cover Sheffield news in depth. Other programmes will
cover Sheffield's *"rich, varied, and diverse" * music, events, culture,
arts, and sports.

The channel is part of a society set up for community benefit which earlier
this year raised over £165,000 of investment through a "community share
issue" in which ordinary Sheffielders became part owners of their local
media.

The channel will collaborate with existing community radio station,
Sheffield Live!, which has been broadcasting via FM for nearly seven years;
and will offer an inclusive platform for local talent, as well as great
opportunities for local businesses and social enterprises to engage with
its audience.

Over 450,000 people will be able to access SLTV through Freeview Channel 8
if they are tuned to the Crosspool transmitter and Virgin Cable in
Sheffield. And others will be able to watch the channel, live, through the
Internet from www.sheffieldlive.org - anywhere in Sheffield, South
Yorkshire and across the world.

Sheffield Live! TV is locally owned and run for community benefit. Find out
