Bizarre isn't it. Almost like the main coalition party wants an alternative to the local output from the BBC.

But the BBC only puts out short regional programmes on its main channel, as does ITV. The idea is that the new local channels will be full time, along the lines of local US channels.
I'm not sure how much public money is going into this - I thought they were going to be commercial channels. I'll have to read up on that.
