Commercial local tv for Galway and Waterford

August 1st, 2005 | by aobaoill |

RTÉ reports today that City Channel, the David Harvey-led group that recently launched in Dublin, plan to expand shortly into Galway and Waterford. They are negotiating with NTL for carriage and then plan to approach the BCI for a license, when the other aspects are a done deal.
I wonder what this might mean for non-commercial groupings which have been working with the BCI for the some time to develop local cable channels. I’ve contacted the BCI to see if they might make a comment on the issue.
