Show overview

The Local TV Show brings together industry solution providers and is attended by decision makers from across the broadcast community

Local TV is happening in the UK. 19 city licences have been awarded and consultation is underway for 28 more. This is undoubtedly a model that will be followed by other countries, but also the concept of local is not far removed from niche. Long tail is effectively the future.

Why The Local TV Show?

Companies bidding for and winning licenses come from varied backgrounds, ranging from media giants who may already have considerable broadcast and content experience to industry newcomers with perhaps little understanding for the business they are embarking on.

Every station by definition will face different challenges in serving their locality, but all face the common issue of establishing a viable and sustainable business model.
