Perhaps Sony could merge trutv and the local channels and then rebrand as Made In Japan...

Seriously though, the local tv channels are now beyond a joke.

I presume VM will be adding this channel before too long.
They didn't take very long adding Made in Teesside, so it could be "coming soon". I would have thought that VM would have a problem with both Made in Reading and Made in Basingstoke within the coverage area of Reading headend. With Made TV apparently re-branding and merging the areas into Made in Thames Valley, perhaps it won't be such a problem... "not so local" tv. In the meantime, you can catch most of the content on TruTV.

I'm told that Reading headend takes ITV Meridian South rather than the correct region of ITV Meridian Thames Valley, so I wouldn't like to guess if that oddity will be repeated for local tv.
