Congratulations to Sheffield Live TV! from London-based Comm
<em>unity</em> TV Trust
</div>
<div>
where we live with the disappointment that is London Live. Not too much in
</div>
<div>
the way of locally produced material being broadcast down here … more like
</div>
<div>
recycled mainstream comedy with branded packaging.
</div>
<div>
 
</div>
<div>
Your station promises to be the real thing for which the sector has been 
</div>
<div>
aspiring. We wish you well and look forward to a measurable impact on
</div>
<div>
your local community.
</div>

Sheffield's local television channel Sheffield Live! Television will begin broadcasting, via Freeview channel 8, Virgin Cable and the internet, on Tuesday 23rd September.
<div>
 
</div>
<div>
The TV channel will broadcast news about Sheffield alongside programmes covering Sheffield music, sport, culture and much more. It promises unique, high quality content, 
<em>"Made in Sheffield, Made by you."</em> A flagship daily news programme will cover Sheffield news in depth. Other programmes will cover Sheffield's 
<em>"rich, varied, and diverse" </em> music, events, culture, arts, and sports.
</div>
<div>
 
</div>
<div>
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.
</div>
<div>
 
</div>
<div>
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.
<br />
<br />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
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.sheffieldlive.org">www.sheffieldlive.org</a> - anywhere in Sheffield, South Yorkshire and across the world.
