Broadcasting remains a power reserved to Westminster and largely off 
the agenda in Scotland. Local authorities have been entitled to hold 
broadcasting licences since 2003. The Scottish Local TV Forum coincides 
with Ofcom’s review of future public service television and the 
Department of Culture Media and Sport’s consultation on local digital 
TV licences. Analogue TV will be replaced by digital in Scotland from 
2008. This Forum is a starting point for exploring how Scotland’s 
communities can benefit from a variety of more localised television 
services.
