East Midlands Television (EMTV), a local TV station in the UK, has launched to a potential global audience of millions. EMTV makes use of cutting-edge Internet and satellite technology to broadcast not only to the East Midlands, but also to an international audience which can access EMTV programming via any PC with broadband access.

EMTV is due to launch in three phases: as of 19th July it is delivered to a global and regional audience as part of the Narrowstep Internet broadcasting platform. EMTV will be available to anyone in the world with a broadband internet connection via its website www.emtv.tv. In October 2008, EMTV is expected to be added to British Sky Broadcasting’s network, where it will be available to more than eight million viewers in the UK and Ireland.

“Despite this international reach, EMTV is a truly regional station, delivering only local news, weather and information and broadcasting entertainment programming which has a clear East Midlands theme,” said EMTV Managing Director Stewart Rickersey. “EMTV is set to become the most technologically sophisticated television production system in Europe,” said Rickersey. “Based on new technology developed by broadcast automation and content management provider Omnibus, EMTV will be able to rival larger broadcast operations with its ability to operate a totally tapeless environment.”

EMTV is pursuing these cutting-edge delivery platforms ahead of the UK’s switch-off of its analogue terrestrial transmissions network and its replacement with an all-digital network. “Advancements in technology and the huge drop in the cost of storage and delivery of broadcast-quality video mean the time is right for television to meet local community needs for news, information and entertainment,” said Rickersey. “And these advancements mean our sales team are able to offer highly targeted TV advertising to businesses which until now would have considered regional press campaigns to be in the upper limit of their ad spend budgets.”
