Cast aside your cynicism and admire the audacity of Evgeny Lebedev's aim
We're in the final countdown to the launch of London Live, and I'm unashamedly banging the drum.
Arif Durrani, head of media at Campaign, editor of Media Week
To be cynical about a local TV channel for London, put together by a bunch of press folk, is all too easy.
The very idea of local TV, the brainchild of Jeremy Hunt, has attracted criticism from the start. Hunt's comparisons with media in the US were flawed from the outset, his critics (of which there were many) claimed.
Hunt suggested the fact that Birmingham, Alabama (population: 210,000), has eight local TV services while Birmingham, UK (population: 1.1 million), does not have one highlighted the gap in the market. However, on closer inspection, US television is divided into major affiliate "networks", more akin to the old ITV franchise model than individual local services.
Meanwhile, Hunt's high-minded idea of providing local communities with a new platform through which to hold politicians to account – part of the Big Society (remember that?) – was roundly dismissed as idealist and quaint. Yet, on we ploughed.
Commercially, the fear has always been that any government-backed local TV service will end up competing with the already embattled local newspapers and commercial radio for ads.
'London Live promises to catapult both the Standard and The Indy back in the game in terms of digital'
Let's also remember that both the BBC and ITV offer regional news as part of their public-service remit. Suffice to say, it was not the most celebrated of conceptions. Indeed, as London Live's chief executive, Andrew Mullins, now freely tells us, the group was not initially interested in Hunt's vision (read my interview with Andy Mullins here).
But that was back in early 2012. Fast forward to today, and Mullins views the local TV service as an essential addition. You have to admire the audacity. When Evgeny Lebedev gave the green light to submit a bid in 2012, his papers were losing more than £2 million a month. The decision injected a new sense of purpose into the group and promises to catapult both the Standard and The Indy back in the game in terms of digital. Chief among the buzzwords currently being bandied around Northcliffe House are "fresh", "dynamic" and "different".
The channel will not be challenging ITV, Channel 4 or Channel 5 for ratings any time soon, and Jon O'Donnell's sales team will be lucky to pull in £10 million by year three, but that's not how success will be measured. London Live is less about launching a TV channel and more about future-proofing a publishing group as a fit-for-purpose multimedia company.

text: Kim Zimmer Reunites With Designing Women's Annie Potts for Hallmark Flick Jamey Giddens September 28, 2009 Designing Women, Freshman Father 1 Comment More information is coming out about Freshman Father, the TV-movie Guiding Light alum Kim Zimmer recently revealed she was filming. According to Variety, the Hallmark Channel film will reunite Zimmer with Annie Potts, whom she worked with some 20 years earlier when Zimmer guest-starred on Potts' hit CBS sitcom Designing Women. On Designing Women Zimmer played Mavis, the cousin of loveable-yet-dimwitted office manager Charlene (Jean Smart). Mavis was trapped in an abusive marriage in the powerful episode of the sassy, Southern-fried sitcom. Potts portrayed Charlene's best friend, sardonic, divorced mom Mary Jo. See clip above courtesy of Nohea Star. Here's what Zimmer said about Fresham Father to TV Guide Canada:

Comment: Re:More feminist FUD (Score 1) 239
Skyrim's actually really popular with women. Partly because it's so fun to play
Fixed that for you.
Being "open-ended and exploratory" does not make it more enjoyable for women it makes it more enjoyable for anyone who enjoys open-ended or exploratory games.
Just as hardcore games are no more enjoyable for men than they are for women. Hell, my wife has ascended, how many guys do you know that have pulled that off?
Women are just as capable of being hardcore gamers as men are. Unfortunately the culture of hardcore gamers has largely shunned women trying to make it in the scene, so it's no big surprise that there are less women.
And while your post is a lot better than reading the rape and violence threats, you are still propagating some of the same old stereo types that were trying to break down.
Ascended. As in Nethack? If so, props to your wife, and to you for marrying someone so awesome.

However, I think you are missing something here. If you were talking CoD or DotA or EVE (less so EVE) you'd have a point about hardcore gamers shunning women. It seems they do. However with games like, nethack, Dark Souls, etc. (some people in DkS2 actually communicate and could be construed as being capable of shunning, not so much Dark Souls), since they are single player games I don't think you can possibly argue that the players of those games shun women. Couldn't it be that women tend not to like those games, say, for cultural reasons? Could it be, as another slashdotter suggested, it is a matter of women shunning other women who play such games?jj
