We're Liveblogging the Launch of London's New TV Channel

The capital finally has its own Freeview channel – but will London Live be any good?

At 6.30 this evening, Russian billionaire Evgeny Lebedev is launching a new terrestrial television channel for Londoners. It's called London Live, ironically a name shared with a BBC London radio station that was an unmitigated disaster, hated by listeners and canned after less than a year.

So, what can we expect? I'll be liveblogging the whole thing from 6.30PM so come back here for gags about shoddy set design and Alex Zane's stand-up.

Watch London Live totally legally at their website and follow me on Twitter if you want, too: @samwolfson
