Local TV

The "Mades" now have websites at last!

There's a promise of a 'Player' which will stream all local shows.

That's Solent have got a website too at last it seems. Doubt there will ever be a player but just check out that schedule.

Not exactly great for the small screen.

There's also this website for Big Centre TV, which is using the old version of the swirl.

Apparently if you're in the coverage area of Big Centre TV then the EPG placing and barker will be coming on air tomorrow (3rd Feb)

Still think that it reminds me a little of the old Central logo...though I admit the star doesn't look like Carlton (I just thought it was a HINT at their logo - it looks like the Hanna Barbera ident as someone stated).

I wish Big Centre TV all the luck in the world btw. Would really love to see much more mainstream programming made in the second biggest City...

No coincidence I'm sure - same with the name.

If you take a look at Big Centre TV they've been hinting at some of their programming all day.

What a really nice designed set of websites…especially compared to The Latest.tv (my local tv station).

It's a shame as their Youtube channel is full of content…their website on the other hand...

Sheffield Live, new look.............

They still seem to hide the listings though - you'd think they'd be in the header but they only seem to be linked too in the footer (and can't see them at all on TheLatest.tv). Doesn't look too bad a schedule (no idea on the quality of the shows) - obviously sharing content between them help significantly and it can only be a matter of time before we start seeing the smaller stations bought out by the bigger groups.

It's annoying - the EPG does say but it's as if they are just trying to be a catch up service (not doing too well at!)

But on the whole they produce some decent stuff, I mean to pull out a half hour news show just for Brighton every night is impressive. They've also got a good team- some of the younger journo's come across really well! Even former talk sport Mike Mendoza manages to pop up!

Particularly like these two!

But as I say there site is seriously letting them down. To succeed these channels need to think about a) getting on air but b) getting it right online.
Not sure if others think their local offering is up to standard.
