The local news outlet, covering Nottingham and the wider county, has been running since 2014.
In a notice to colleagues, the university’s vice-chancellor Prof Edward Peck – who announced his upcoming departure from the position in January – said: “In November 2025, Notts TV’s broadcasting licence will be up for renewal.
“This has provided NTU with an opportunity to consider if Notts TV delivers sufficient benefit to its students at a time when all organisations in and around the public sector are operating with constrained budgets.
“Whilst students who have had placements with Notts TV have gained significant real work experience, the numbers involved have been too small to warrant continued investment.”
The university said it hoped other organisations would submit their own proposals to Ofcom “to continue focused local broadcasting and pick up the baton that NTU has been holding aloft since May 2014”.
