This week with Steve Hewlett:
Why does Birmingham Alabama have eight local TV stations when Birmingham in the UK - four times the size - has none? Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt MP posed that question over two years ago when he set out his vision for new local tv stations across the UK.

Join Steve Hewlett and his guests in the West Midlands to find out more.
