United for Local Television (“ULTV”) has welcomed the announcement by Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, that he is appointing Nick Shott of Lazard’s to undertake a review of the enabling policy options for local TV this summer (2010).
 
Peter Williams, a spokesperson for ULTV, said:
 
“ULTV has been calling for a review of this nature for many years and we are delighted it is now happening. We have always said there are viable business models for local TV but there needs to be a will from government to explore the policy options including issues such as access to spectrum and priority on the electronic programme guide. We look forward to contributing to this review and will do all that we can to seek to ensure a strong and successful local TV network emerges.”
