Nottingham’s local TV station Notts TV will close in November after more than a decade on air unless the licence is taken over.

Nottingham Trent University, which owns and subsidises Notts TV, has decided that running the channel no longer benefits its students enough to warrant the investment.

The university said the numbers of students taking placements at Notts TV in return for its funding are now “too small” and it will not renew the licence when it ends in November.
