Culture bosses are looking into setting up a new arts centre in York - and it could be based at the Bonding Warehouse.

City of York Council has revealed that a feasibility study has been commissioned to look into demand for a new “media arts facility” in the city, as well as options for potential venues.

A spokeswoman said the authority and partners in the creative and cultural sector, including SCY, were working together on the project.

Campaigners have vowed to press ahead with plans for a local TV station for York, and say a web-based channel could be up and running sooner than first hoped.

York missed out when the Government granted the first licences earlier this month, but the team behind the plans say they have not been deterred.

Carl Wolf, business development manager at SCY, who helped spearhead York’s bid, said the regulator OFCOM had chosen areas that had the largest population coverage, and where stations were therefore easiest to set up from a transmitter point of view.
