Northern Visions

Northern Visions is a media centre in Belfast offering training, access and media production in radio and video. The provision of skilled support services, both people and technical, realises quality programming and has offered opportunities to people marginalised by main stream media or denied self and/or collective expression.

Northern Visions has been awarded a four-year license by Ofcom for a free-to-air, terrestrial community television service for the Belfast area. Broadcasting, through NvTv, is a natural progression of Northern Visions work enabling local community/cultural groups and individual artists and filmmakers to communicate and engage with the wider public.

NvTv is a not-for-profit community venture which seeks to create a public space where:

new faces are brought to the screen
local issues are presented in informative and entertaining ways;

health education and economic resources in the community are promoted;

local talent and initiatives are celebrated;

participation is inclusive of all under represented communities (whether geographical, racial, ethnic, cultural or generational)

An important element of this service is to act as a forum for public discussion and to promote community access to television broadcasting.
