Ofcom have, in the last few days, granted a new Irish channel a licence to broadcast on cable and satellite.

It's called IrishTVUK.

I wonder if this is the long awaited channel from RTE for the UK? I can't see it being a resurrection of the channel called Irish TV (wasn't on cable) that recently went bust as the Irish Post newspaper bought the assets from the administrator and weren't interested in running a TV channel.
