Coming soon · Isle of Wight

The Island,
on screen.

Wight TV is a community-focused video and media platform built specifically for the Isle of Wight — its people, places, businesses, events, music, culture and creativity.

A Community Interest Company Video-first, on demand Proudly Isle of Wight
Our mission

Not national news filtered through a mainland lens. Not fleeting social posts that disappear tomorrow. A living, growing platform built specifically for our Island.

Wight TV exists to give the Isle of Wight a platform of its own. We're building a dedicated online video channel and media hub that celebrates Island life — and we're proudly Isle of Wight, here to tell its story.

It's more than a video website. It's a digital ecosystem built around video-first content and community participation.

What we're building

A media outlet accountable to the community.

Wight TV is a Community Interest Company created to serve the Isle of Wight — designed for how people actually consume content now: on demand, shareable, accessible anywhere.

High-quality local storytelling

Real reporting, deeper features and Island voices — produced to a standard the Isle of Wight deserves.

Visibility for Island businesses

A platform that puts local enterprise in front of local audiences — properly, consistently and credibly.

A place for creative talent to grow

Working with Island writers, filmmakers, musicians and producers — a launchpad for real careers.

A digital archive of Island life

Culture, events and the people who make them happen — captured, preserved and findable.

Built here, focused here, for here

Not national news filtered through a mainland lens. A perspective rooted on the Island.

Accountable to the community

A CIC structure means we exist for the Island, not for shareholders. The community comes first.
