Why WightTV?

As with any community, there are a variety of benefits to having a dedicated local TV channel, but this is especially true for such a unique and special place as the Isle of Wight.

A local TV channel provides a platform for the community to share their stories, culture and events. It also serves as a source of local news, weather and emergency information, as well as entertainment and a sense of belonging.

Additionally, as the Isle of Wight continues to grow as a tourist destination, a local TV channel can provide visitors with an authentic and unique perspective on the island, its history, culture and community.

Having a dedicated local TV channel, can also support local businesses through targeted advertising and informational programming.

WightTV will become a vital source of information, connection and representation for the community.

WightTV is a community based venture that will feature local content and programming, including news, events and features most relevant to the community. It is a channel made by, and made for, the Island.

WightTV is accessible to all, with a choice of free to air and low cost subscription payment models. It will be available on multiple platforms including Smart TVs, streaming devices, and mobile handsets, making it easily accessible to viewers, both at home and out and about. 

By subscribing to WightTV, viewers will be supporting a local business and the wider Island economy.
