HOW CHANNEL 8 CAME INTO EXISTENCE
HOW CHANNEL 8 CAME INTO EXISTENCE
In May 2012 the UK’s telecommunications regulator, Ofcom invited applications for the provision of local television services (L-DTPS).
For the Brighton & Hove area there was only one applicant: Latest TV.
In September 2012 Ofcom’s licensing committee decided Latest TV would meet the statutory description of an L-DTPS and have the ability to fulfil the statutory criteria.
The programming commitments proposed by Latest TV will be written into its licence and become binding requirements. Ofcom will not allow these to materially change, as these commitments were part of the reason for the licence's award.
