You'll be pleased to know Solent University has nothing to do with it.

 

That's Solent Ltd is owned by SIX TV Ltd, trading as That's TV, with the That's Media Ltd as the ultimate parent company, it operates out of Highbury College in Cosham.

 

In 2012 the government wanted to set up hyper-local TV stations in its bid to compete with BBC regional websites at the behest of regional newspaper owners, who felt the Beeb's local web pages were affecting their circulation (see 'Graf Report')

 

That's Solent principally won its bid because it had Esther Rantzen on board as their cheerleader. As soon as they won, she realised it was a crock and cut her ties.

Interesting (which is more than be said of the content shown on the station)

 

Thanks
