As an enthusiast for local TV, its great to see a local TV spin-off from the Glenrothes by-election.
Fife has a new on line Web TV channel with the launch of CHANNEL FIFE.
The new station is being launched as a pilot during the Glenrothes By Election and will see four dedicated TV news teams reporting stories from across the Kingdom.
Webcasting from yesterday, the other programming will include a daily 'breakfast style' show and documentaries and drama. The Channel is being launched by MiMAC-Rushes who are already involved in media and access services across the region. It's a co-production with other Fife companies including Art Attack Films, Colmar Video, AV Artworks and Glass Bullet Productions.
Graeme Campbell, Director of MIMAC says 'Local TV for Scotland has been a long time coming and the on going campaign to persuade OFCOM to free up transmitter space at Digital Switchover continues. In the meantime the internet offers the best opportunity for communities to grab air space and get our views on screen.'
Channel Fife has recruited TV and radio reporters who've come from Radio Clyde, BBC Scotland and MTV.
