This is the blog for our Ethics and Regulatory Frameworks module presentation. We're looking into how internet TV might transform local TV and local radio news. On this blog are our research notes, meeting notes and other things that we'll use to put together a spiffing 15-minute presentation on February 7th.

H2O TV aims to ride the waves

I came across H20 TV the other day and it is a great concept. H20 Claims to be the first Internet Television channel to be dedicated to water based content only. The company is based in Devon and they have alredy pulled off a major coup by gaining exclusive rights to footage of the Sony Free Diving World Championships.

In their manifesto they aim to cover a number of issues involving water including science, education, sport, business and leisure. Some programmes which are airing right now include a programe based on Mick Dawson's bid to row across the atlantic and a programme on diving to find remains of dinasours.

There are over one million qualified surfers in the UK and the site is hoping to pull in some of these people to help boost their viewing figures.

This site is well worth a look.
