Extracted from the Ofcom decision awarding the Manchester local tv franchise to Your TV...

"YourTV Manchester put forward a more ambitious proposal, backed by a strong advisory board which would help ensure the needs of the locality were taken into account....  it included a higher number of first run local hours, a higher proportion of local programming, and greater quantity of local programming throughout the day, all of which gave... confidence it would be more likely to broaden the range of programming made in and about the area, and more likely to meet the specific needs of an area this size."

I wonder if these programmes from the indicative schedule will survive through the 12 year licence.

1100 Saturday: Pet Clinic. Not only talented pets but a chance to help people care for and train their animals whether it [sic] is a horse or a mouse. Also look into lost pets, funny pet videos, exotic pets, and all aspects.

1130 Saturday: The Wedding Show. Everything you need to know about getting married whatever religion or none. Including lots of good wishes for those doing it today.

1800 Saturday: Pub Quiz Challenge where local teams compete with each other. Filmed on location

1330 Sunday: Your Best Shot; a montage of viewers best photos that have been sent in, set to music as background to Sunday lunch. We will make use wherever of sent in photo’s [sic] to use as backdrops, fillers etc to give the station a flavour of the area and this is the chance to bring them all together.
