I forgot about the 2000s vintage City Channel, a commercial channel which used branding vaguely derived from the Canadian Citytv. (The Munster version was called Channel South, for reasons). It produced cheap as chips programmes that got very little viewers and even though it lasted six years it failed to enter the public imagination. Probably why I forgot about it!

Earlier, Cablelink had a Dublin local channel, broadcast on TCC/Nickelodeon’s channel after 7pm, but it was mostly a PowerPoint presentation broken into with various European news bulletins which I think came from TVE, ZDF, and Rai Uno. It lasted into the early 2000s and even into the NTL era but never transitioned to digital.
