KMTV’s flagship news programme, Kent Tonight, weekdays at 5.30pm and repeated at 9.15pm, is taking a special look at wildlife in the county this week.

One of the animals we will be turning the spotlight on is the Kent dormouse – a species that is under threat after decades of decline.

It is now one of the rarest mammals in the UK but the Wildwood Trust, near Herne Bay, is working to release dormice into the countryside as part of a re-wilding project.

They're celebrating the birth of several babies last month which will soon be reintroduced.

There's a treat for drama fans on KMTV this week with Broken, a moody surrealist
thriller from Coalescent Films.

It tells the story of Jared, who is lost in a bleak world of loneliness, bitterness and regret, a world of his own making and one he cannot hope to escape.

That is until a chance encounter with Eve provides a glimmer of hope, but will her timely appearance in his life be his salvation, or his damnation?

Kent politics expert Paul Francis returns from a short summer sabbatical to bring you more Paul on Politics Friday at 5pm and 10.15pm. Each show features local politicians thrashing out the big topics and issues that matter to you.

As a commercial TV channel with a range of packages to suit businesses large and small, KMTV is welcoming new clients every week.
