[comtv-l] Ofcom invites applications for seven further local TV licences

[CMA-L]

Ofcom today invited applications for new local TV channels in seven UK
locations – Aberdeen, Ayr, Carlisle, Dundee, Forth Valley, Inverness and
Stoke on Trent.

The invitation follows legislation passed in 2011, enabling Ofcom to issue
local TV licences allowing the broadcast of local TV channels on digital
terrestrial TV.

The first local TV licences were advertised by Ofcom in May 2012. In the
first phase, Ofcom awarded 19 local TV licences.

Prior to this advert, Ofcom had invited applications for 18 locations in
the second phase of local TV licensing. So far, Ofcom has awarded
Middlesbrough, Scarborough, Mold, York, Cambridge, Swansea, Guildford,
Reading, Salisbury, Maidstone and Tonbridge, and Basingstoke.

The closing date for applications for the Scottish areas of Aberdeen, Ayr,
Dundee, Forth Valley, Inverness, and the English areas of Carlisle and
Stoke on Trent, is* 23 October 2014*.
