I am not optimistic about the future of local channels in this country. I am really surprised at the lack of creativity and imagination that has brought us to this pretty pass.
It is beginning to look as though the only hope we have (for anyone who cares) is that areas will amalgamate in order to create economies of scale. We may even end up with a single channel for England and Wales, according to this article!
What a wasted opportunity.
