English-language programming from EuroNews – the international news channel operated by European public broadcasters – has gained carriage on cable in the Republic of Ireland.
Already available on Irish domestic terrestrial channels RTE1, Network 2 and TG4 for a number of hours every day, this new carriage agreement gives the Lyon-based channel access to 1.2 million homes in the Republic.
Philippe Cayla, Chairman & CEO of EuroNews, said “EuroNews already has a good following in Ireland; we are pleased the channel is now available 24 hours a day and are sure our new Irish subscribers will appreciate EuroNews’ unique editorial concept.”
