Kent TV Faces the Axe
Written by Matt B · first published 05/05/2009
Kent TV could be scrapped by the Labour Party if they win a majority in the Kent County Council elections.
Kent TV is widely regarded as overly expensive and not good value for money. One blogger goes so far as to call it "bollocks". This is mirrored by Kent TVs lack of impact on the social media space for Thanet and Kent as a whole. It has been largly out competed by YouTube which bloggers seem to have a solid preference for.
(It looks like Tony did not get in)
Citing the £1.4 Million already spent on the Kent TV project (and the promise of another £400,000 proposed to be spent on it) the Labour party are suggesting the money could be better spent elsewhere.
I'm inclined to agree. Though this would mean that TDC would have to host their video's elsewhere (read more about the Kent TV hosting plans on Big News Margate). On the other hand it would mean that KCC would have the funds to help them self host.
Calling the conservative policies "out of touch with reality" the Kent County Labour Party Manifesto for 2009 promises to "Scrap Kent TV and improve KCC's website", "ensure proper sports provision in every school" and spend less time and money on self promotion in favour of listening to people.
