>In January 2025 it was bought by David Montgomery’s Local TV Ltd.[3]

I guess they bought it to take that Freeview channel 8 spot.
doubtful that anyone will miss it
I can’t recall anyone I know saying they’d watched it, ever. To be honest my only surprise was that it was still going.
I check to see what’s on occasionally; it’s surprisingly good for putting out obscurities. Post-war British movies, low-budget releases (I think I saw Radio On not too long ago), noir thrillers, music films and docs. Not everyone’s taste, obviously.
Tories had plenty of shite ideas and trying to make local tv a thing was one of them in this multi channel online age.
Aw. I’m gonna miss that mudlarking show.
What was that song they always played in the early days? Something like “London London London is calling” but it wasn’t by the clash
Lack of subtitles is an issue. A lot of the films they show have bad sound.
That’s a shame, the London boroughs series and show hosted by a London taxi driver were interesting, I hope they find their way to YouTube.
It was going for 10 years!?
Good, it was just taking space in my channel list
And somehow one of the few channels I couldn’t get in the City of London.
Whoever buys it would have to still have a comittment to local tv. To keep its slot on freeview
