Blaenau Gwent Local Access TV via the Red Button

Residents of Blaenau Gwent can now access a range of council services through their television set, mobile phone or Wii due to the launch of an innovative information channel - Looking Local.

The Council has developed a special TV channel called 'Blaenau Gwent Looking Local' and anyone with Sky, Virgin or broadband connected Freeview boxes can find out more by pressing the interactive button on their remote.

The service is completely FREE to use and allows residents to:
