Northern Visions NvTv is one of several community and local TV companies to be awarded the new digital local TV licences. NvTv has held the local analogue licence for many years in Belfast and has made a tremendous contribution to representation of the region’s cultures and diversity.

STV won the local digital licences for Edinburgh and Glasgow. A further round of local licences will be announced in a few months, to include services for Dundee, Aberdeen, Ayr and Inverness.
