Perhaps the funding was arranged for a fixed period, as with the fees for appearing on the Sky EPG. Although Radio Caroline is still available FTA on satellite it isn't in the Freesat EPG and is no longer available on the Sky EPG.
The carriage arrangements on cable in Ireland could have been a legacy arrangement, considering that Ronan O'Rahilly, the founder of Radio Caroline is actually Irish. Speculation, I know, but things are often done in less conventional ways in Ireland.
