Notts TV is owned by Nottingham Trent University (NTU), which funds the channel and has always had strong links to broadcast journalism training.

The licence was originally won by a consortium of Nottingham Post Media Group, NTU, Confetti Media Group and Inclusive Digital.

For the past three years, they’ve also held the LDRS (Local Democracy Reporting Service) contract for Nottinghamshire, securing funding to employ three journalists.

The university sector is not awash with money right now (a mix of the effects of inflation in the context of tuition fees being frozen for many years and changes to student visas putting international students off coming to the UK to study) so I have to assume that it is actually more or less viable rather than NTU chucking a load of money at it.
