Ofcom has awarded local TV licences ­­­in Guildford, Reading and Salisbury to the That’s TV network.

The broadcasting regulator has now awarded 28 local TV licences across the UK. Four have so far launched: London Live, Estuary TV in Grimsby, Mustard TV in Norwich, and Nottingham’s Notts TV.

Last week, former culture secretary Jeremy Hunt, who championed the Government’s local TV policy, criticised the Westminster media for its coverage of the launching stations, including Lebedev-owned London Live.
