Bye Bye to another +1 channel on Freeview. I don't think there should be any. The platform is tight on capacity and +1 channels don't make it an attractive option.

It's not tight at all, well in regions that have had the analogue switched off already.

New Ofcom licences appear on the Ofcom web site.

Ofcom has given out three new licences to Reach TV to run three channels on Freeview called ''Connect, Stream and Vision''.

You may ask what going to be broadcast on them - I found the following on DS Forums.


Connect: Lifestyle/Health/Cook/Travel

A new Freeview EPG slot has been put up for grabs with the aim of getting a channel on air as early as October.

The 24-hour Multiplex A channel has been created through the release of additional capacity, and airtime broker Bid Media is handling the sale based on a three-year contract. The current owner of the slot is not known.

Mirror: Olympics radio station to be launched by BBC.

The BBC is to launch a temporary Olympics radio station for London 2012.

The plan for a new digital and online service was given the go-ahead by the BBC Trust today.

It has also approved plans to devote youth channel BBC3 to broadcasting the event next summer for its duration.

But Freeview viewers will lose BBC Parliament to free up the broadcasting capacity on Freeview, but it will resume if Parliament is recalled in that time.

The 2012 Summer Olympics are planned to take place between 27 July 2012 and 12 August 2012.

In other news: Virgin Media sold 50% of UKTV to Scripps Networks Interactive.

Virgin Media has today sold their half of UKTV (Who run G.O.L.D, Home, Really, Dave, Dave Ja Vu and Yesterday on Freeview) to Scripps Networks Interactive (Who also run Food Network on Freeview.)

Guardian: First 20 UK towns and cities in line for local TV service announced.

Local TV may be coming to a small screen near you soon – but only if you are in one of the 20 towns and cities unveiled by the government.

The government also revealed today that BSkyB and Virgin have committed to offering either apps or the use of the yellow button on their interactive services to fulfil the heavily debated obligation that the new local TV services receive "appropriate prominence" on electronic programme guides (EPGs) when they are launched.

The first 20 areas to receive local TV services will be: Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton and Hove, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Grimsby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Preston, Southampton and Swansea.

The government said a further 24 areas have been identified for a future round of licensing of local TV services.

These are: Aberdeen, Ayr, Bangor, Barnstaple, Basingstoke, Bedford, Cambridge, Carlisle, Derry/Londonderry, Dundee, Guildford, Hereford, Inverness, Kidderminster, Limavady, Luton, Maidstone, Malvern, Mold, Salisbury, Sheffield, Stoke on Trent, Stratford upon Avon and York.
