I think it's too early to make a judgement on the new local channels, but I think the issue is quality.

People won't be too interested in some old geezer's opinion of why there's litter on the street, but good quality programming of a local nature would be hard to resist.

The problem really is the economics of it all, and that's what they really need to sort out. If you just throw pennies at the provision of local TV, I don't have to tell you what you will get, and no-one will watch it.

The local programmes we used to get in our area about a decade ago were worse than dire. In fact, it made Wire TV look good!
