Why do you think that London cannot be compared to the rest of the UK?
In my own view launching an local TV Channel in London was an bad idea as over 50% of the UK wide broadcasters come from London.

Yes, I totally agree with you on both these points.

I think London is far more transient, it has a younger population and more ethnic diversity (eg 500,000 French) than any other city in the UK. Appealing to this type of diverse audience is very hard.
To illustrate the difference, when England exited the World Cup, viewing in pubs declined nationally in England except London, due to the internationalisation of the city.

What I also feel is that the whole success or failure of local TV cannot be judged by one TV station in London. London Live's low viewing figures could be due to one or all of:
i) Local TV does not work in London or anywhere else in the UK.
ii) Local TV does not work in London due to London's unique characteristics.
iii) Local TV does not work in London due to the wrong decisions taken by London Live in terms of programming.

Local TV, jesus H! Do we not have enough friggin TV channels as it is? Most of which are utter brain numbing dross, talk about saturation! People need to get up off their arses and get out more, ok it's different for people who are housebound with illness or whatever, but for the majority of people, do we really need all these TV channels?

We've got too many TV channels, so the obvious solution is to watch less TV.

No-one is forcing you to watch them !

Personally, I have all channels, bar movies and sports (as I'm a tight sod), and although we dont watch much, I like the choice.

Having said that< watched the "this is Brighton" the other day, and the whole thing reminded me of schoolboy video, so I'll probably not watch that again

I see today that an channel has been added to Total Channel over night.

Media Boy HQ has no idea on what maybe added - as BT Sport Extra was set to launch today via the red button on TiVo.

One of the things I miss about Analogue Sky was all the foreign channels you used to get!
