Dyke: 'it's time to make local TV happen'
Former BBC director general Greg Dyke has said that 2011 is the time to make local TV happen, as it will ``provide a real boost to local economies and local democracy across the UK''.
The UK government Thursday reaffirmed its support for local television, with Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt saying that a series of individual stations could be more feasible and faster to deliver than a centralized model.
