BBC Extends Local TV Trial To Mobiles

The BBC has extended its trial of local TV to mobile phones. Local TV is intended to “create and distribute genuinely relevant local news and information…The pilot service will provide up to 10 minutes per hour of original material for each of the following six locations; Birmingham, The Black Country, Coventry and Warwickshire, Hereford and Worcester, Shropshire and Staffordshire”.
The extension to mobile means that anyone with a 3G phone in a service area can watch the programmes… A good move, but a bit tardy — the nine-month trial will finish at the end of August, although it’s expected to start again next year.
