Great news for Birmingham!
Yesterday, Ofcom proposed 20 sites for
consultation for the local television multiplex licence. They were selected to achieve a range of locations across the UK, and a range of scales of operation. Evidence of strong local demand was also taken into account.
The 20 sites are: Belfast, Birmingham, Brighton & Hove, Bristol, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Grimsby, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Preston, Southampton and Swansea.
The Birmingham Civic Dashboard has been live for a little less than two months now. We received quite a bit of publicity when we released it, and
in the first few weeks had quite a few people commenting on it, using the Disqus commenting system on the site.
We had an early blog post from Dave Harte on the Bournville Village blog. This is gratifying, although I should also probably declare that Dave worked in Digital Birmingham on our open data stuff before returning to be course director at BCU.
So, I’ve been wondering why we haven’t seen more use of the Civic Dashboard by local bloggers. When myself and Matt, from Mudlark, were first putting the bid together for Nesta we thought that they would be the most likely people to talk about it and use it.
Digital Birmingham is a Birmingham City Council initiative and part of a city wide strategic partnership of more than 40 public, private and voluntary organisations
