In the latest of a series of debates looking at the future of Public Service Broadcasting, a senior member of Ofcom suggested that the Channel M model could be the future of regional programming.
Content and standards partner, Stewart Purvis was one of the speakers at the debate at Salford University and said that one option was for newspapers to apply for funding to provide local television content.
He described the MEN Media example of print and television journalists working in the same office as "seamless."
Another option was for commercial broadcasters to leave gaps in their schedules for news sourced from outside agencies, such as The Press Association or ITN.
Ofcom has put a series of measures in place to help ITV regions in the short term, while possible solutions are discussed.
Purvis still hasn’t ruled out the possibility that ITV will continue to produce and transmit regional news in the longer term.
