BBC Local TV

BBC Local TV

BBC Local TV was a pilot project operating in the West Midlands region serving Birmingham, the Black Country, Coventry & Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and Hereford & Worcester, England.

Teams of video journalists at six centres (sharing local radio offices) began broadcasts on digital satellite television (accessed via the red button from any BBC channel on page 1700) and via the BBC's local websites on December 1, 2005. The service was halted on completion of the 9-month pilot in the summer of 2006.

There is currently a period of assessment by the BBC and independent assessors before an anticipated full roll-out sometime in 2007.

The service has been criticised by the Conservative Party and a section of the local newspaper industry as an unfair encroachment on established commercial interests in local media. BBC Local TV in some areas has already established a working relationship with local newspapers and an assessment of the impact of Local TV services on newspaper sales is expected.
