Midlands TV
Jan 28^th, 2013, 11:16pm

We have received notification of the inaugural meeting of the Campaign For Regional TV (Midlands).

This is a new campaign that is being formed in the Midlands to promote the region as a place to make TV, radio and film.

"There has been a massive descaling of broadcasting operations by the BBC and ITV in the Midlands in the last 20 years or so".

The campaign claims that no English region has seen such a damaging decline of the broadcasting sector as the Midlands.

More information may be found here, including the location and date of the first meeting in Birmingham.

"Ariel" covers this story here.

"Bectu is backing a petition that will call on the BBC to make more network programmes in the Midlands.

The Campaign for Regional Broadcasting Midlands believes that the BBC should redress the balance of network tv production, which it says has shifted away from the UK's second city and is having a negative impact on its economy.

Nearly 1400 people have already signed the petition, which claims the BBC's reduced presence in Birmingham is 'both iniquitous and a clear betrayal of the BBC's duty to all areas of the UK' ........"
