'''BBC Local Video''' (originally Local TV) was a pilot project operating in the [[West Midlands (region)|West Midlands]] region serving [[Birmingham]], the [[Black Country]], [[Coventry]] & [[Warwickshire]], [[Staffordshire]], [[Shropshire]] and [[Hereford]] & [[Worcester, England|Worcester]], [[England]].<br />
<br />
Teams of video [[journalist]]s at six centres (sharing local radio offices) began broadcasts on digital [[satellite television]] (accessed via the [[BBC Red Button]] from any [[BBC]] channel on page 1700) and via the BBC's local websites on 1 December 2005. The service ran as a 9-month trial until the Summer of 2006.<br />
<br />
The [[BBC Trust]] and regulator [[Ofcom]] reviewed the trial and undertook research into potential effects the service may have on competition, in particular the impact on newspaper sales.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7471154.stm BBC video service put to the test] BBC News: 24 June 2008</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090204054340/http://www.ofcom.org.uk/media/features/bbcmia BBC Local Video services would have negative market impact] Ofcom: 21 November 2008</ref> Criticism came from the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] and a section of the local newspaper industry as an unfair encroachment on established commercial interests in local media.<br />
<br />
The Trust ruled in November 2008 that the service would not be value for money and called instead for more improvements to be made to the existing programming.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7741244.stm BBC local video scheme rejected] BBC News: 21 November 2008</ref><ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/news/speeches/ml_statement.html Press conference - opening statement by Sir Michael Lyons, Chairman of the BBC Trust] BBC Trust: 21 November 2008</ref><br />
