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 more at: www.sheffieldlive.org
