Local TV Summit For Belfast Today

Local TV is one of the UK Government's top media priorities and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport have published a list of the locations that have the potential to receive a new local TV service.

This list includes a number of areas in Northern Ireland and with that in mind, the Secretary of State, Jeremy Hunt MP is today visiting Belfast to discuss plans for local TV.

The event is giving attendees the opportunity to hear more about his vision for local TV and consider and question the views of Mr Hunt and other interested parties. It is also acting as a networking event with potential partners.

The event runs from 4pm today, Friday, at the Ulster Hall, located at 1-7 Bedford Street in Belfast.
