Our local TV channel on BBC news

I was on BBC news today talking about the future of Local TV. I argued that local tv has to be internet based (free for all, low cost, user friendly) rather than digital tv (expensive license, ofcom regulations, corporate model). I was showcasing our Swansea Telly project, an internet-based channel.

I think local TV could work, so long as it was genuinely independent, genuinely local and passionately committed to investigative journalism. Would local people and companies financially support it? that is the crux of it all.
