Not to be confused with Edinburgh International Television Festival.

Edinburgh Television was an RSL television station catering Edinburgh, Scotland's capital. The station was owned by Channel Six Broadcasting.

History

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

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]
