Local TV

The stream is working for me but is anybody else finding this a very boring programme and I generally like presentation and new channel launches.

Yes, I would have hoped that by 30 minutes in we might have had some idea of what programmes they are going to show. Perhaps a compilation of extended clips.

Viewers would agree with you.

@BigCentreTV retuned several times (in Brum City Centre) but its not finding it - having to watch online for now :/

@pigsonthewing @BigCentreTV It's a bit of an ego trip so far! It'll turn off potential viewers and they'll turn off.

What a wasted opportunity.

This launch makes London Live's look good!

This programme appears to be very dull, lacking in atmosphere and seems to have banished caption generators altogether. Don't think I've seen a caption yet identifying any of these people.

I thought this introductory programme would only be on for 10-15 minutes, but according to the online schedule it's on for a whole hour. Don't know how they can drag it out that long.

There were captions for Mike Prince, Chris Perry and Bob Hall, but none of the journalists or interns that have been on briefly.

Oh God, the acoustics on the interview with that pink/purple stripey backdrop are so bad it's virtually impossible to hear what they're saying. Somebody left a TV on in the background by the sounds of it then decided to conduct an interview...

The first 40 mins of your big TV launch shouldn’t be your business plan/career history. I want to support but this is dull… #bigcentretv

From Facebook wall:

Actually I notice there's no ambient or background music to make this more interesting. I get the impression of watching a YouTube video. And now the vicar or reverend has decided to seemingly bless this station for some reason...
