I suspect selling ad space for the Local TV channels is a tough job at the best of times but they've only had to worry about the "local" "news" in recent years. Can't see 8 year old often cheaply produced content which isn't local to the majority of areas it's airing in even covering the costs of selling the ad space in the first place.

Perhaps it’s easier for them to get revenue for the advertising?

Must be particularly difficult in South Wales where the advertising spend is already with GB News.

At one point, they pulled the plug entirely on what was Made in Cardiff and turned that into the ‘generic’ channel with all the various local blocks in turn.
This is a fairly typical example of what Local TV usually fills their half hour with, when it’s not voxes or PTCs on a street corner - Zoom interviews padded out with the most generic stock library footage you can find.

Yes, the report on the First Minister of Wales had about 30 seconds of footage of him in the Senedd and 90 seconds of two still images of the outside.
The old Made bulletins up on that Daily Motion pages from 2018/19 actually look decent enough - they at least have a host in a studio rather than on a street corner.

AFAIKK, the last time they had studio presentation was when all of the local bulletins were being presented from Leeds following some drastic cost cutting (and that didn't even last, either)
