Local television launches fully in the UK in 2014 on Freeview channels, with Grimsby starting by launching last month. Among those who’ve succeeded in securing a licence are our colleagues in producing arts and cultural programming. Nv Tv is the broadcast name of the longstanding production company Northern Visions, run since the day of Channel Four’s workshop supported by Dave and Marilyn Hyndman.

We’re showcasing a selection of the many wonderful back catalogue of programmes from our archive, made in and around Belfast over the last decade or more. Summerhall TV wishes all those embarking on local television the best of luck in the year ahead.
