Your County - Putting Kent First

Kent 4 star Council

Kent TV

Kent TV is a free internet TV station for Kent, broadcasting local news and features from around the county. Although the initiative has been led by Kent County Council, Kent TV will be run by the independent media company Ten Alps Digital, co-founded by singer/songwriter/activist and Kent resident Bob Geldof KBE.

Kent TV went live on 21 September 2007 and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.kenttv.com (link opens in a new window).

Programming

Kent TV homepageKent TV will show programmes under a series of channels, such as news, community, education, tourism and business.

There will be programmes showcasing the county's tourist attractions, plus features on KCC-run services, such as how to find a residential home for an elderly parent or how to get a Kent card - a debit card to pay for social services help.

At the heart of Kent TV lies its ambition to be a community channel, so individuals and local community groups can upload their own content onto Kent TV to highlight local issues.

News content will be independently managed by Ten Alps Digital and an independent board will oversee the running of the station.

Kent TV Board
