UCB Ireland to launch satellite service next year


The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) has signed a ten year contract with United Christian Broadcasters (Ireland) Limited for the provision of a satellite radio service, which will be available on the Sky digital platform in Ireland and the UK.

UCB Ireland will be a dedicated Christian radio service which will give an Irish perspective of news, issues and life in Ireland. Programmes will have an interdenominational focus and the primary target audience will be 25-55 year olds. The service will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, from January 2008.
