Solent TV, the first not-for-profit commercial local television station in the UK, has commissioned Broadcast Networks to install a new studio and playout centre at its Isle of Wight facility in readiness for its launch as a new channel on SKY. 

The TV station will be available on digital satellite across Europe from January 2007, making it the first community station to access the distribution potential of Digital Satellite Broadcasting.

Solent TV already broadcasts local news, sports and information about the Isle of Wight and Solent region and at present delivers its programmes via the Rowridge analogue terrestrial transmitter as well as Internet streaming and local Cable TV services.
