Manchester TV Freeview channel 99 was launched in February 2021 as a video-on-demand service producing local news, sports and what's on coverage throughout Greater Manchester. Its online service can be viewed at manchesterlocal.tv
In 2021, the station became part of the 'Northern TV Network'.[1] This is media executive and newspaper owner David Montgomery (National World’s Executive Chairman)[2] plan to link up Manchester TV with the Local TV Liverpool service[3] and stations in Newcastle and Leeds. It is planned that 'Northern TV Network' will have segments from 6am to 9am, 1pm to 2pm and 6pm to 8pm for local news, but it is unknown if these slots will take a more regional view (similar to Granada Reports or Calendar) or keep these slots for news from each city.
Programming[edit]
Manchester TV is required to broadcast 35 hours a week of first-run local programming.[4][5]
As of February 2021, the station's sole local programme is North West Live, a rolling four-hour block of pre-recorded local news, sport and features airing each weeknight from 5-9pm. A half-hour block also airs on the generic Local TV networked feed on digital satellite each weekday evening at 7pm.[6]
Programmes produced by the other Made TV stations also air on the channel along with acquired programming from independent producers and other broadcasters around the UK, including the thrice-daily programming blocks from CBS Reality - airing from 9-11am, 1-5pm and 9pm-2am.
