Next year, Sheffield Local TV will be launched.

http://www.sheffieldlocaltv.co.uk/proposal

Available on Freeview, SLTV will be: “ a channel for the Sheffield City Region (South Yorks and N. Derbyshire) that serves the public interest in local news, information, education and entertainment and offers a platform for local talent and creative expression.”

One of the proposals selected for development is a magazine show with news and features from the local combat sports scene- provisionally titled Sheffield Fight City.

The Steel City is a hotbed of the combat sports and has worldwide reputation for excellence but the local media all but ignore this tradition. SFC will aim to give local gyms and fighters the exposure they deserve.
Obviously, boxing will be a major component of the show. If you would like to get involved- drop us a line: [email protected] .
There will be a meeting for interested parties in Sheffield soon.

All levels of experience welcome. SLTV's aim is to provide programmes for the local community produced by members of the local community. Passion for the sport more important than technical expertise as training will be available for various roles. As well as boxing, interest in other martial arts/combat sports would be useful.

I have sent your details on to my friend who has a gym/fighters

Thats just a few I know of locally there is many more.

I ref on an a nice little white collar event in dinnington (just next to sheffield) , they run it every 3 or 4 months , would be good if some of those local guys at grass roots level could get a bit of exposure , inbox me if you would like their details , ideal for a small tv project as they would jump at the chance so costs would be very low to almost non existant id imagine .

Thanks for the suggestions.

At the moment, we are looking for people to produce / present the show. This is a real opportunity to get involved in broadcasting and to give the sport of boxing more coverage.

It has been pointed out that the email link in the original post does not work.

Could anyone interested in getting involved please email [email protected] or message me on here.

This week, we are meeting with SLTV to plot the next stage of development and should be producing a pilot in the near future
