Ofcom has awarded licences to run local TV services in York and Middlesbrough on digital terrestrial TV (DTT).
The awards follow legislation enabling Ofcom to issue local TV licences.
The channels will be broadcast on DTT by the local multiplex, a discrete amount of spectrum reserved for local TV broadcasting on DTT.
In York the licence was awarded to “The York Channel” Website: www.oneandother.com
York did have a Local TV station for a couple of years at the beginning of the last decade.
However there were reception and content problems and it didn’t last for long.
