History
Edinburgh Television was set up by Channel Six Broadcasting, who also bid for a station in Dundee, which was overshadowed by David Rushton's plan for the capital.[2] The station broadcast on UHF channel 52 delivering a text-based information service for most of the day.[1] Around May 2000, broadcasts started.[3]
In December 2000, Local Broadcasting Group acquired Edinburgh Television's licence, as well as a number of other RSL stations in the UK,[4] while in September 2001, it announced that its frequency would be used by a local news channel for Edinburgh, which was critical of Scottish TV's Glasgow-centric news service.[1]
