ITV Local launches 'London Life' TV

ITV Local, the broadcaster's broadband TV service, has launched London Life, a new TV service for the London area.

A total of 39 TV channels - one for each London borough plus the surrounding Home Counties - will show factual films and documentaries about each area.

Programmes include Knife Lewisham which depicts the vivid reality of knife crime in south east London, and Two Sugars, which captures a group of Kilburn pensioners teaching hip-hop dance moves on the Southbank.

ITV Local London channels manager Nick Haworth said, “This is the quality end of user generated content. We’ve been approaching film schools, community groups and local councils for weeks to gather films for the launch and we’ve all been really impressed by the range and creativity of some of the work.”
