City Screens in Leeds

There is only one city screen in Leeds now, in Millenium Square. Up until November 2005 the screen was only temporary for live8, Euro 2004 and Wimbledon, which were great crowd magnets. The screen is now permenant mainly showing bbc news, local films or weather reports. Sound is muted during nightime.

Previously there has been a smaller city screen located outside WH Smiths off commercial street. This has recently been taken away, probably due to its small size and being slightly pixellated. Advertisements were aired across the screen, along with local weather to the seating area infront of it.

Improving the screen would include bringing the screen down to human height and allowing individuals control what they watch.
