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 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.
