City8 was a proposed local television channel in Birmingham, that was previously scheduled to launch in November 2014.[1]
History
In 2010, Ofcom announced that local TV would be introduced in the United Kingdom.[2]
In May 2012, a round of bidding was held for local TV licences. There were 4 applicants for the Birmingham area: City TV Broadcasting, Bham TV, Made in Birmingham and YourTV Birmingham. In November 2012, City TV Broadcasting Ltd won the local TV franchise for Birmingham.[3]
On 19 February 2014, the channel's name was changed from City TV to City8 ahead of launch.[4]
On 8 August, City8's owners BLTV went into administration, having been unable to secure sufficient funding for the channel.[5] The licence is expected to be transferred to another operator.
Programming
According to one of its videos it says that it has announced a breakfast show, a music show, a news programme and a sports programme presented by a man named Tom.[6]
