This streamlining set the stage for its <strong>national presence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-programming\">Programming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thats TV&#8217;s programming strategy skillfully blends nostalgia with variety, offering viewers a <strong>curated selection<\/strong> of shows from the 60s, 80s, and 90s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find classic TV series like &#8216;Steptoe and Son&#8217; and &#8216;Goodnight Sweetheart,&#8217; alongside iconic movies and music videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The channel caters to a broad age range, from young adults to older people, tapping into their fondness for retro content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Structured schedules rotate content by era throughout the day, with <strong>themed days<\/strong> dedicated to specific decades and <strong>special event programming<\/strong> on holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drama series such as &#8216;Humans&#8217; and &#8216;In Deep&#8217; keep you engaged with <strong>intense synth hunts<\/strong> and investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This strategic mix ensures you&#8217;re always entertained with compelling storylines and <strong>nostalgic favourites<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-services\">Local Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.express-installers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/local_businesses_and_offerings.jpg\" alt=\"local businesses and offerings\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"body-image-wrapper\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the <strong>nostalgic programming<\/strong> captures nationwide attention, the network&#8217;s local services guarantee that viewers in regions like Oxford, Solent, and Manchester receive <strong>tailored content<\/strong> that resonates with their unique communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thats TV&#8217;s <strong>strategic acquisition<\/strong> of stations such as Cambridge TV and Mustard TV has bolstered its local presence, expanding coverage to areas like Carlisle and York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By operating through <strong>regional production centres<\/strong>, the network makes certain that each area&#8217;s specific interests and needs are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This localised approach not only fosters <strong>community engagement<\/strong> but also differentiates Thats TV from other networks that offer more generic, nationwide content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, viewers enjoy a richer, more relevant viewing experience that strengthens <strong>regional identity<\/strong> and community cohesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-criticism\">Criticism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The network&#8217;s ambitious growth hasn&#8217;t been without its challenges, as Thats TV has faced significant criticism for technical issues, delays, and perceived biases in its content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2016, three stations were placed on notice by Ofcom due to technical problems. Launch delays plagued some stations, adding to the network&#8217;s struggles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, founder Esther Rantzen&#8217;s resignation in May 2015 marked a significant shift for the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics have highlighted various issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical issues<\/strong>: Persistent problems leading to regulatory scrutiny.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Launch delays<\/strong>: Stations not starting as planned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited local news<\/strong>: Only half an hour of local content per day by February 2020.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perceived biases<\/strong>: Content perceived as favoring certain ideas or controversies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These factors have collectively influenced public perception of Thats TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-can-i-watch-that-s-tv-in-the-uk\">Where Can I Watch That&#8217;s TV in the UK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch it on major UK platforms like Sky, Freesat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express-installers.co.uk\/blog\/do-you-need-an-aerial-for-freeview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Freeview<\/a>, and Virgin Media.
