	answer text	<p>The Government recognises the important contribution and impact that local TV services make to our broadcasting ecosystem, and officials from my department meet regularly with both local TV providers and platforms.</p><p>In the Broadcasting White Paper, we announced our intention to consult on our approach to the renewal or relicensing of the 34 local TV services whose licences expire in November 2025. Subject to the outcome of that consultation, the Government has no plans to change the status of local TV services under the current linear prominence regime set out in section 310 of the Communications Act 2003 (as modified by the Local Digital Television Programme Services Order 2012). Under that regime, the providers of regulated electronic programme guides must give appropriate prominence to local TV services.</p>
