<br>* What times of day are most appropriate for the broadcast of local content?<br>* Would a selection of ?local interest? content be well received if<br>broadcast <br>as network programming?<br>* How local should the content be? Community, town, nearest city, county,<br>borough? <br>* How do these issues differ across the devolved nations?<br>* Broadcasting policy remains a reserved matter but what do audiences in the<br>nations want from any local TV services?<br><br> Personally I think DCMS has missed some important questions e.g. -<br><br>* what model of service would best empower communities?<br>* what are the key characteristics of a successful relationship between<br>spine service and local providers?<br><br>Any feedback appreciated.<br><br>Phil<br><br>Phil Shepherd <br>Chair of Council<br>Community Media Association<br>c/o Engine Room<br>52 High Street<br>Bridgwater<br>Somerset TA6 3BL
