York TV

A proposal has been submitted to the Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) for York to have a dedicated TV station.

The bid has been put together by a group including Science City York, City of York Council and the city’s two universities – the University of York and York St John University – and has the support of The Press. It follows an announcement in January 2011 that the DCMS wants to help create a new generation of self-funded local TV services. The initial schemes will be focused on ten to 20 local TV services operating by 2015, with the first local services licensed from 2012.
