It certainly seems that Manx viewers would do well to boycott both ITV Granada Reports and BBC North West Tonight – and stick with Isle of Man TV- which you can only get through You Tube. Do write to both ITV Granada (email: granada.reports@itv.com) and both BBC North West Tonight (email: nwt@bbc.co.uk) to tell them that you are doing this because the new- coverage of the Isle of Man (a country in its own right) is shocking. Get your family and friends to boycott BBC North West Tonight and ITV1 Granada Reports too, and to write to explain why they are doing this.
It is really bad when you have to rely on local radio stations and You Tube channels to get news- coverage of your own country. Even Rwanda, one of the poorest small countries in the World has a Television station!
yes boycott both ITV Granada Reports and BBC North West Tonight good idrea think next step just get bit of evidence frist so go to them show this to them that month how bad be but yes it is bad that rely on local radio stations and You Tube channels to get news- coverage of your own country
Since BBC North West Tonight and ITV Granada Reports are supposed to cover the Isle of Man- as viewers there receive their programming OFCOM will respond to your complaints about lack of coverage on the Isle of Man. However, depending on whether it is BBC North West Tonight or ITV Granada Reports there are different complaint forms which are:
Policy and Reform Minister waiting for reply to proposal
The government is waiting for approval to trial a digital BBC Isle of Man news programme.
Policy and Reform Minister Ray Harmer explained the current status, in a statement on BBC TV Licensing in Tynwald.
He spoke about the relationship with the BBC and Manx Radio, with a reciprocal sharing agreement of news content.
But, Mr Harmer said they could capitalise further on BBC TV Licensing with similar ‘opt-out’ systems to the Channel Islands:
but no date ween start ? will it happen as the bbc say in 2018 about bbc isle of man to tynwlad nothing happen ween there where last on isle of man ween was summoned to the island talk to tynwlad
let hope this not bbc look good shut up Manx gov before Manx 23st of September 2021 if is that be bad then good get it but bad if over 50 some / lot not kown how use online or some one no internet also lot of bad internet mmm so how go get isle of man tv news if not on tv ? but news say new bbc hopeful be one day like bbc channel islands like a tv output mmm bet can bit late need yaers ago but wee seee how that gos
If the BBC set this up and there is an online news-programme for th Isle of Man that is a step in the right direction. But how about a 15-minute opt-out for the Isle of Man on BBC North West Tonight- or better- a new TV Region for the Isle of Man in it’s own right? Ditto for Cumbria/ North Lancashire!
Mmmm yes it me @bbcisleofmsnoutput me still try finding out full thing on that one like no say who go host it or do and will be form Isle of msn so am aks everyone I Kown on this one on this side of Irish Sea not many Kown full or can not full say mm if have anything on your side might Kown be helpful
All I know it was MHk given an update on Tnywlad this month tynwald caught where are both The lower and upper house of Tynwald got together talk stuff what he say that
MHk that like manx Mps to us say
Bbc Isle of Man be go like what Channel Islands have output News Guss think test might be online but form Kown lot of MHk on bbc about how people not have internet or over 75s go watch it so guss go be on tv
i still on to bbc till get on tv with output with own region
I say yes to shukd be 15-minute opt-out for the Isle of Man on BBC North West Tonight.
or better- a new TV Region for the Isle of Man tv channel like Scotland but for Isle of Man
It’s good that the BBC is finally waking up to the fact that coverage of the Isle of Man- a small country in its own right- is not acceptable and that the island needs its own Regional News programming. South Cumbrian viewers of BBC North West Tonight have a ready- made TV alternative that covers Cumbria very well called ITV Border (though some of them might need to tweak their TV aerials or get their telly’s re-programmed to get ITV Border rather than ITV Granada). However, the Isle of Man has no proper TV service providing bespoke coverage of the Isle of Man.
Do keep up the pressure on the BBC to provide an Isle of Man opt-out by writing (not just emailing) to OFCOM at ths address:
OFCOM Complaints, PO Box 1285, WARRINGTON. WA1 9GL
Do get your friends locally to do the same as it looks like the BBC are finally waking up to the fact that they need to do something about Isle of Man coverage. They need another push (from above- by OFCOM) to fully convince them that they have do to something about it because coverage (from the two main North West England based Regional TV News services) is 95% irrelevant to Manx viewers.
i wll do i kepp on to them am on to bbc and now have get on to itv buces look like Joshua Stokes isle of man reporter now left ween have no itv report on isle of man job need like isle of man not places sand report form the uk need ksown isle of man so yes he has left isle of man go to london and lol has not left some one fill in job look bad hope have some one for tynwlad day form itv that soon july the 5th so yes so no vido news on itv for isle of man as are isle of man reporter has left island
kown what so bad the isle of man have 2 elections this uyaer there isle of man locla council elections the jully 22 and big one there a Isle of Man General Election hosue of key of tynwald on the September 23rd
not 1 of them have be doen on bbc no isle of man Election tv show not even a bbc isle of man party politics election debate not even any election debate look like no even go be a isle of man election night
if was Scotland / Wales / ni Ireland / England elections they would all have massive coverage some how not isle of man get nothing and only week left fot isle of man locla council elections the jully 22 next week and Isle of Man General Election on the September 23rd is i today it 68 days until the sle of Man General Election where the the lowest house of the oldest containers in the Parliament tynwald the elected house of keys gets voted by the public
stil not 1 bbc or itv on isle of man General Election
like show real bad what bbc up to not do anythign for the 2 isle of man elections not even talk any one that runing in the Election it so bad and not just the bbc it the itv too
time the bbc and isle of man start do some for the elections we isle of man like same on tv that Scotland / Wales / ni Ireland / England get for there Elections
You may be interested to note that there have been discussions between the BBC and the Manx government about the BBC providing the Isle of Man with a video news- service. This is not the same as a full- on Regional TV service and, I must say, it is doubtful that the BBC will even go as far as to provide an opt-out from the main BBC North West programming (the article I mention is here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-57512636 ). The Channel Islands have their own news- programming and thus, so should the Isle of Man because it is a country in its own right. For Manx viewers, nothing that does not happen on the Isle of Man is local or directly relevant to viewers there.
It’s certainly worth writing to your Government to get them to appreciate that this is serious and that local, relevant and timely news- coverage is a Public service just like bin- collections. Even very poor countries like Rwanda have their own TV service, so folk should expect nothing less than the Government to ensure that there is funding for a proper Manx TV News service.
The £157.50 that Manx households pay each year via the TV Licence fee would pay for a TV News service just for the Isle of Man: Thus the Manx government should tell folk not to pay the TV Licence fee to the UK’s TV Licensing authority but to pay it into a pot to be used to set up the Isle of Man’s own TV service. The worst that’s likely to happen is the BBC cut transmission to the Isle of Man – but if nothing on the BBC is relevant to Manx viewers why should they pay that large sum of money?
Yes did see that was Announced in Tynwald by a MHk before went to press the MHk that lower house of tynwald and mlc the upper house of tynwald bunch of MHk and MLC.
Lot have say not let go get forget and there like see a Isle of Man bbc news output on tv because not happy about it be online because of under 75s / old people not Kown use online
so down next government now election on way down who of MHk get in election are buch of MHk have work on get bbc Isle of Man sort or have own pbs tv are running for election agin so we have see
But not go to
I think idrea have own bbc like Ireland have rte and Gibraltar have gbc we shuld have IMBC or MBC own tv service with local tv show and tv show form uk and Ireland to because get Ponit bbc not do anything
Good news there now 2 bbc reporter in Isle of Man new one Jsut start this month for bbc she come form manx radio so look like up to something
but really hope have some before the election so we Isle of Man have live tv or live online tv for big General election yhat 23rd September 2021
Well it one agin it the every 5 yaers show on isle of man Annabel Tiffin
Even if you don’t live on the Isle of Man we have something for everyone on Politics NW today – Manx queenies, historic trams and e-gaming. And election chat. Join us at 10am BBC1 #bbcpolnw#isleofman#Elections2021
Lol one agin election coverage not even Covered 1/2 big election story and not even talk all 65 candidates lol is Kind of broken Manxs a Election Law the bbc
