Understandably, I think we're all getting sidetracked from the question "Is public money being put into local TV?" The answer is yes regardless of whether it is old or new money or the wealth or poverty of the local TV franchise owners.

Returning to a previous point, YouView looks set to focus on-demand services which reinforces the direction Virgin Media is taking too. I hope VM is able to increase its range of on-demand providers as this could be a key strength for it.
