It's now 20 and industry insiders reckon that's not commercially viable.<br /> 20 in the UK would suggest one in Wales, probably based around Cardiff.<br /> That could turn out to be a total disaster for Wales because these new franchises are being used as a cover for ITV regions to stop providing regional news as part of their contracts. <br /> So no, I don't think Hunt has got the slightest interest in boosting news from Wales for Wales with this move.Plaid Whitegatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757898330400853732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-50147518977740434762011-01-20T09:08:07.438+00:002011-01-20T09:08:07.438+00:00Jeremy Hunt has announced plans for localised TV s...Jeremy Hunt has announced plans for localised TV stations and invited bids.
