The Arts and local events on TV

There is a move to bring us local TV, but this is by broadcasting it on radio waves. Which is entirely the wrong approach. This is ideal for IPTV, transmission over the internet.

The cost of setting up local IPTV servers is small compared to setting up a TV station.

Dream TV



What I dream of is a local channel at my home town of Banbury, with inputs from freelancers and organisations (art clubs, venues like the Mill or concerts from St Mary's) nearby, say within 50miles, which will provide pay per view IPTV. Not live, but watch it when you want it.

It is a huge benefit to the organisations, a huge benefit to artists, a huge benefit to the community. It IS big society in action.

Isn't that a good idea? Who will join me and carry it out?
