Comms Commission outlines process
A national television station for the Isle of Man is feasible, but not without significant regulatory hurdles.
That's the message from the Communications Commission, after UK local broadcasting network That's Media expressed interest in launching a new Manx digital channel in the new year.
The regulator says any licence to broadcast would have to be subject to OFCOM approval, and follow a compulsory tender process by the Manx government.
Communications Director Carmel McLaughlin adds digital broadcast frequencies, which are also used by mobile phone networks, are becoming increasingly difficult to grant new licences for:
May sentence for man who threatened to stab neighbour
Evidence sought for Area Plan inquiry
Traffic lights in operation by Palatine Health Centre
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
