Latest TV: Digital Nation

Imagine all the city TV stations covering stories from the bizarre to the wonderful across the UK. Now imagine all of the best stories combined into one cleverly edited, easy to watch entertainment show, broadcasting all the talent that the local TV industry has to offer. Well that’s exactly what Digital Nation is.

“Our approach has been to re-invent and update the model that was set by the popular ‘Nationwide’ show back in the ‘70s and ‘80s. It’s a fast-moving magazine show, aimed at a modern audience, delivering stories to stimulate and entertain viewers, in watchable bite-sized chunks.” said Angi Mariani, series producer.

Digital Nation is part of an ongoing partnership with the BBC: all of the city TV stations work closely with the BBC, who broadcast the programme every week on iPlayer. It’s a great way to get all of the amazing local content out to the UK, reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers on the local TV stations broadcasting on Freeview 7, and also online with BBC’s excellent digital reach.

The range of content is so vast and amazing – from snow dogs in Brighton, to the ‘oldest gay in the village’, Digital Nation is a great opportunity for everyone to hear stories on TV, filmed and edited in a ‘second to none’ way.

You can watch new episodes of Digital Nation on Latest TV every Tuesday at 9pm – Freeview 7, Virgin 159, or via our website www.thelatest.co.uk, or even on iPlayer.
