Edinburgh Television was an RSL television station catering Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. The station was owned by Channel Six Broadcasting.
History
[edit]Edinburgh Television was set up by Channel Six Broadcasting, who also bid for a station in Dundee, which was overshadowed by his[who?] plan for the capital.[2] The station broadcast on UHF channel 52 delivering a text-based information service for most of the day.[1] Around May 2000, broadcasts started.[3]
In December 2000, Local Broadcasting Group acquired Edinburgh Television's licence, as well as a number of other RSL stations in the UK,[4] while in September 2001, it announced that its frequency would be used by a local news channel for Edinburgh, which was critical of Scottish TV's Glasgow-centric news service.[1]
Programming
[edit]The station initially aired arts programming,[1] though the bulk of its programming consisted of the Infostream service. It also relayed Sky News and produced a limited amount of original programmes.[5] The channel also aired Art in Scotland, alongside Channel Six.[6]
