Fresh fears have been raised about the future of independent TV news and current affairs in Wales after culture secretary Jeremy Hunt signalled his intention to allow ITV to ditch its commitment to regional news, Wales Online reports.

Hunt confirmed he is to persevere with a policy of introducing a network of smaller, city-based local broadcasters, freeing ITV up from its obligation to provide a Wales-wide service.

Labour AM Alun Davies said he was appalled by Hunt's approach and said it posed a serious threat to broadcasting and democracy in Wales.

Justin.tv, a San Francisco-based company, has unveiled a live broadcasting app for the Android platform, states ITTV.

According to the company's blog post, it believes that "the mobile space is the biggest opportunity in live video, and that being tethered to a computer has held a lot of people back."

The company previously released an iPhone application that allows users to receive broadcasts from its service and is planning to roll out a live broadcasting app for the iPhone in the near future.
