Television in the Isle of Man
- Television in the Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is covered by the BBC North West region and the ITV franchise Border Television. Unlike the Crown dependencies in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man does not have its own BBC Local Radio station, nor is there an Island-specific opt-out of the BBC Regional News programmes, in the way that the Channel Islands get their own version of "Spotlight".
In 1993, Tynwald passed legislation (the [http://www.epra.org/content/english/about/countries/BROADCASTING%20ACT%201993_isle%20of%20Man.doc Broadcasting Act] ) allowing for the establishment of local television services. Only one application for a licence to run such a service was received by the Communications Commission. That application was rejected.
