“Ofcom today [that’s yesterday, May 10] invited applications for 21 local TV channels across the UK. This follows new duties given to Ofcom by Parliament to license local TV.”

Applications have to be in by 13 August. The channel will be subsidised and is expected to carry at least 7 hours of local news a week.

Sounds perfect for our friends at Londonist…
