<div dir="ltr">Dear List <div><br></div><div>Local or community TV rarely features in the CMA list these days, but a bit of a side-ways mention earlier in this thread prompts a response. </div><div><br></div><div>Twenty years ago the CRA dropped the R in favour of M (for Media). Common to both community radio and local TV (or a more localised and its social enterprise community variations) is the need for spectrum to be assigned according to less centrist demands. </div><div><br></div><div>Underlying the points made recently on this thread is that broadcasting each transmitter serves firstly a local or smaller or immediate footprint, a footprint of audience the national network has commandeered for the initial service priority, then partially devolved (again centrally) for regional (TV) and local radio (and some local TV). </div><div><br></div><div>The issue for the future is the extent to which a principle of subsidiarity should be applied to frequency access so that (if we turn things up side down, or the right way up!) spectrum that is unwanted for a service from a single transmitter might then be aggregated according to local, regional and national consensus, that is once the immediately community and local needs have been met. </div><div><br></div><div>So at each twelve year opportunity for BBC renewal we should question how we use spectrum (from transmitters) to deliver public service and the scale of public's served. This is fundamentally a local question for terrestrial transmission. How spectrum is used from satellite is more often than not of international interest. </div><div><br></div><div>In my view the bias towards the national in networking, transmission and (possibly) advertising timing and in centralising what is a primarily local and community resource has in effect turned efforts for a genuinely locally accountable local TV into a service less able to answer to those it serves than to those who distribute it. </div><div><br></div><div>Opportunities for a more federal network of local TV's were turned down by Ofcom in favour of the less (centrally) threatening approach. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Dave</div><div>Dr David Rushton</div><div>Institute of Local Television</div><div>Edinburgh</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 July 2015 at 13:08, Trevor Lockwood <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lockwood@btinternet.com" target="_blank">lockwood@btinternet.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:verdana,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div><span>Ian</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>I don't do foolhardy.

of the questions I've often asked is did we make a mistake back in the 80's in
assuming that the only route for a truly local radio service was via the then
IBA. Our original 1970's community radio project was formed as a group to
provide programming on the BBC "local" station. The beeb of
course had no intention of providing community radio (unless forced to by
someone else doing it) and probably wouldn't have got involved in "local"
radio either had it not been for the threat of ILR. Against this
background it is easy to see why the commercial route was thought by most
people to be the only one worth pursuing. It is something of a minor
miracle that community radio exists at all when you look at the politics and
vested interests that surround it. While we are on the subject of the
statutory services, I feel it should be pointed out that the national tv
networks don't do very well in "local" news provision either, the tv
local news we now pay for (a couple of stories and the footy), if you can find
it in the schedules, is pretty poor in my opinion.<br clear="none">
