DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just happened on this , a new TV channel for the Notts area starting in May . http://www.nottstv.com/news?id=36 Says you just have to retune your Freeview to get it on Channel 8 , so I presume in darkest Cornwall we will be able to see it ? I don't quite get how its funded so presume it will have commercials . Perhaps they will be scanning these pages for articles ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Probably the council broadcasting propaganda. There must be a reason for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Theres a tweet that they are in talks with Sky and Virgin . They have already done some filming for programmes . One seems to be at a place called Anchor Supplies who advertise that they sell survival equipment ......so lets hope that they ....ermmmm Survive ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I don't think it will be council propaganda, it will be worse than that. It will be ultra-local news and features telling you things which you never realised you'd previously missed. And now the news from the street next to you...the people at number 36 are having a new shed; and the man at 15 is planning to clean his car on Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 What do you suggest Program wise then? How about 'Local Gossip'? Cant be any worse than the current Soaps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Not sure how you make it into scheduled programmes but nostalgia , as on here , does seem very popular at the moment . Not that I need to tell anyone here , that ! Where I have now lived for over 30 years , a facebook page started about 2 weeks ago , just dealing with nostalgia in the town has gone absolutely ballistic . The town has a population of 20,000 and in two weeks , this facebook page has rapidly expanded to 4500 members ! Getting on for 25% of the local population and not all of those will have computers . The main subjects are pretty much the same as here , schools, forgotten shops and employers , old street scenes ,local characters etc . Most carry peoples personal photos . Different probably for a smaller town , as everybody knows or can connect to everyone else and many former friendships have been renewed . Majority of those posting are in their 30s and 40s . How you would make it good TV ....I dunno ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 There's a channel on freeview with a banner on it that says "local test", it's up in the 800's though I expect after a re-tune it'll be on channel 8.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Is this actually happening then? Would actually look forward to tuning in :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,872 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hope they have weather reports so we can see what it's like over Bills mothers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 They won't be able to tell us it's black over there, because that would be very non-PC. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephenFord 866 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Then there could be a children's programme called "Watch with Bill's mother." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Has it started yet ? Think that it must be a localised broadcast only , as just retuned our Freeview and nothing is showing up on our Channel 8 . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 May 27th. Can you bear the suspense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 It will be broadcast from Waltham & Nottingham (Kimberley) TV transmitters only as far as I know, it will be low power (5kw waltham & 100 watts Nottingham) but it'll be using QSPK instead of 64 QAM so that will help. If you don't get East Midlands Today or Central News East then you're buggered, still try a re-tune though as you might get it off a sidelobe on your aerial.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
