The international Irish TV channel revealed it will launch on the platform in the coming weeks, making the channel freely available to 676,000 Saorview users around the country.

It was also announced that the channel, which is currently hosted on Sky, Eir and Freesat, will deliver over 30 hours of original programming per week.

Pierce O’Reilly, Irish TV CEO:
“We are in the final stage of testing and with our upcoming Saorview expansion to 43% of Irish homes, we will now be available on the two largest television platforms in Ireland.”

“And from October, Irish TV will also provide on-the-go High Definition access to 40 million Irish Americans in the US as well as to the UK and Ireland, via Tata’s industry-leading intuitive app.

“We will produce 480 hours of original home-produced programmes over the coming season.

“We are proud of the fact that we encourage new ideas, commission independent content and show it to a worldwide audience.”

In ‘Are We There Yet’, soap star Charlie Dawson (Coronation Street) and former ‘Emmerdale’ actor Daniel Coll embark on an audacious vintage Land Rover road trip around Ireland with no cash.

Paul Treyvaud, Chef:
“There will be no kale, no quinoa and no chia seeds – just brilliant recipes for everyone to enjoy.”

“I want to take the fear out of cooking with three simple rules – butter for flavour, oil for heat and season whatever the season.”

‘The Rose Experience’ goes behind the scenes at the Rose of Tralee, and features unseen on-stage interviews with all 64 contestants, including all those who were unsuccessful in getting through to the live televised final.
