The BBC is pressing ahead with proposals to invest £100m in new local text and radio broadband services.
Appearing in front of the Lords communications select committee today, the BBC director general, Mark Thompson, reiterated the fact that a lower-than-expected licence fee will mean the corporation will not launch local broadband television services.
Thompson then went further to say that "actually Local Radio, complemented by the web is probably a complete solution"..
In regards to these new services, users will be able to personalise the sites around news and sport and again, according to Mr Thompson, the services are to be 'Map-based'.
Viewers of BBC programmes such asd 'Coast' will be able to type in their postcode and find places to visit near them that have been featured in the series.
