Re: Local TV

From OFCOM's Statement on licencing local television:

1.5 The L-DTPS licence is only for a service carried on this local multiplex, i.e. on digital terrestrial television (DTT). L-DTPS licensees may wish to distribute their services on satellite and/or on cable and/or online, subject to commercial negotiations. A separate Television Licensable Content Service (TLCS) licence would be required for any such simulcasts.

So, in other words, carriage on cable is subject to commercial agreement AND the TV company going to the additional expense of obtaining an additional licence for cable distribution.
