[cma-l] Liberal Democrat manifesto pledge on community media

[CMA-L]

Quote:

The Lib Dems - currently behind the Labour, the Conservatives and UKIP in
terms of support, according to YouGov - have also committed to:
"Redirecting the current subsidies for ‘local TV’, which have failed to
contribute significantly to cultural life".

The manifesto said the party would: “Use a variety of measures to ensure
that there is a vibrant local and ‘hyperlocal’ media to help inform
citizens about their local area and their local politics, including:
Redirecting the current subsidies for ‘local TV’, which have failed to
contribute significantly to cultural life; Extending Ofcom’s community
radio grant support to online hyperlocals, and allowing non-profit local
media outlets to obtain charitable status where the public interest is
being served.”
