London Live, a channel dedicated to serving the UK's capital, launched in March 2014 as part of TV regulator Ofcom's drive to encourage the launch of local TV channels all around the country.
Initially, London Live broadcast multiple London-centric news programmes as part of its daily schedule, but over time the local content has become almost non-existent and now the channel is effectively a general entertainment service, with programmes such as Birds of a Feather and The Comic Strip Presents in the lineup.
Sky customers living in the London region will find London Live on EPG channel 117, but customers outside of London can still access the channel by adding it manually through their box settings.
Here, Media Mole explains how to tune in to London Live manually through Sky.
