  • 2013 CMR Northern Ireland
    2 Television and audio-visual content 2 2.1 Recent developments in Northern Ireland Switchover success Northern Ireland was the final region of the UK to make the switch from analogue to digital TV broadcasting, in October 2012. Homes across Northern Ireland now have access to a wider range of terrestrial digital television channels. At the same time, three Republic of Ireland channels (RTÉ One and Two, and TG4) began broadcasting from transmitters in Northern Ireland, at Brougher Mountain (between Enniskillen and Omagh), Black Mountain and Carnmoney Hill (both above Belfast). This coverage, combined with overspill from the Republic’s version of Freeview – known as Saorview – means that RTÉ and TG4 are now widely available in Northern Ireland; coverage has increased from 56% of the population to 94%. In addition, RTÉ One, RTÉ Two and TG4 are available on satellite (Sky) and cable (Virgin Media). The enhanced coverage came about as a result of a Memorandum of Understanding between the UK and Irish governments which aimed to ensure the widespread availability of these services in Northern Ireland after digital switchover. Local TV In October 2012 NvTv was awarded a new local TV licence for Belfast, one of 19 new licences awarded across the UK. NvTv has operated an analogue TV channel since 2004 in the Belfast area, and online until digital switchover, under a long-term restricted-service TV licence. The general aims of the new digital channel are to broadcast local news, current affairs and a wide range of creative, educational, and entertaining programming. The new local TV services, the first of which could be on air in late 2013, will be broadcast at a city or sub-regional level and will be available on Channel 8 on the Freeview platform in Northern Ireland.
