RTÉ International to launch in 2009

RTÉ’s new channel for Irish ex-pats in Britain has placed adverts for new personnel on its website, leading to speculation that it may launch in advance of its planned transmission date of March 17, 2009.
The new channel will combine entertainment and sports output from RTÉ One and RTÉ Two, including GAA matches. The channel will also carry Irish-language programming from TG4 and live news bulletins.
The channel is going to be FTA and available on Freesat.
