Certified Problem Solver

Project 'That's TV' is a verified national broadcast network in the UK (Freeview, Sky, Freesat) with significant infrastructure and a claimed team of 125, indicating a scale much larger than the submission detail suggests. While the submission itself was extremely low-quality (vague claims like 'everyone', ambiguous financial data), external verification confirms the entity's existence and national reach. The score reflects the high intrinsic utility and reach of a national TV network, but is significantly penalized for lack of technical innovation (legacy broadcast media), poor submission quality, and negative market signals regarding the viability of linear local TV (gaming subsidies/low viewership per channel).
