“The Government are committed to supporting local television and we 
very much hope to see an expansion of services in the future. We 
envisage that local television will play a valuable role in keeping 
communities informed and in particular, help keep in touch those most 
socially isolated members of the community who may not have access, or 
are uneasy about using new technology. Local television will also bring 
economic benefits to areas in terms of employment and training....” 
LORD McINTOSH, Minister for the Media and Heritage at DCMS, addressing 
Scottish Local TV Forum 2005.

The ‘add/drop solution’ was initially proposed at the Scottish Local TV 
Forum in March 2005. It “offers the most consistent and convenient 
solution, and potentially offers the widest reach for Local TV of all 
the terrestrial options.” OFCOM, Digital Local, January 2006
