New TV station aimed at gay and lesbian community to be in Manchester Print E-mail
Posted by Administrator   
A new TV station aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) community is to be based in Manchester.
Fruit TV will contain original programming and broadcast over the internet at www.fruittv.tv for free.

Fruit TV Ltd, based on Deansgate, which will startlater this year, will be a one-stop shop for both television and radio programmes aimed at the global LGBT population.

Director of commissioning Ashley Byrne said: “There will be a selection of documentaries and drama through to arts, lifestyle, comedy and short films. Also biographies, light entertainment shows and other regular features from all around the globe. We are even working on a radio soap aimed at the LGBT world.”

Fruit TV is being formed through a partnership between radio and TV production company Made in Manchester of which Byrne is creative director, former ITV editor Scott Heslop, ex-Granada assistant producer Anthony Beswick and gay business owner Iain Scott, one of the partners of Taurus bar in Manchester’s gay village.

Bryne added: “Viewing and listening habits are changing with people increasingly using the Internet. So far though there’s little quality content that’s being made exclusively for online audiences. Fruit TV will change all that.”

Director of programme production Scott Heslop said: “Fruit TV is about providing exclusive programming for an audience under-represented and un-catered for. LGBT issues have been forgotten about by the media because producers think they’ve done ‘the gay thing’ but many of the issues are still there and with equality comes new challenges and new stories to tell.”
