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

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<http://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 more at: www.sheffieldlive.org<http://www.sheffieldlive.org>
