If you listen to BBC Radio Solent or watched South Today last night, you’ll have heard that a brand new TV station launched yesterday (Wednesday).
That’s Solent is one of many local TV stations popping up around the country and can be found in the rather prestigious position on Freeview at channel 8 (as well as 159 on Virgin Media and 8 on YouView).
Talk Solent
Yesterday saw the editor of the Southern Daily Echo appear on Talk Solent – the news discussion programme – whilst next week the editor of the Portsmouth News will be taking part.
OnTheWight are proud to have been the first Isle of Wight media invited onto the programme that will be aired on Thursday afternoon from 4.15pm.
Christine Pollard, who has many years of experience in TV and journalism, invited OnTheWight to take part in the news discussion show as she’s keen to ensure the Isle of Wight is well represented on the channel.
Who’s on today?
Simon from OnTheWight will be appearing alongside Liberal Democrat Portsmouth councillor, Darren Sanders, as well as author and broadcaster, George East.
Tune into Channel 8 on Freeview from 4.15pm to watch the discussion show (you may need to retune your TVs beforehand and we understand it won’t initially cover the entire Island).
