LOCAL TELEVISION RENEWED provides a vigorous critique of the  
political impact of public service broadcasting since 1990 and argues  
for two hundred plus independent local, community and municipal  
television channels in line with developments underway across  
throughout Europe. LOCAL TELEVISION RENEWED outlines how these  
proposals for local TV channels can be introduced as part of digital  
switchover from 2008 and expanded via broadband.

LOCAL TELEVISION RENEWED is the fifth volume on local television to  
be published by the Institute of Local Television - published with  
John Libbey, the Community Radio Association (CRA, now the Community  
Media Association) or on the ILT imprint: School Press.
