Having a laugh

London Live, the local tv service for London, gets its biggest audiences for repeats of old BBC and ITV programmes. So now it wants to cut its commitment to local programming - pretty savagely. It's asked Ofcom to vary its licence, so that it only needs to provide one hour instead of three in evening peak - 1800-2230 - with no repeat (previously committed at 1.5 hours). The daily total commitment would be unchanged, at 8 hours - but the station wants to drop 10 hours of promised repeats of local programming.

There no statement about what will replace the local shows, but you can take an educated guess..
