UPC has purchased TV3 Ireland and it's sister channel 3e for €87 million. UPC will pay €80 million upfront and €7 million when audience figures improve. This is subject to approval by the Irish Government.
Wonder if this means we will get TV3 and/or 3e on Virgin Media?

Thanks for that. Do/did UCB broadcast on Freeview?
I have a hunch that UCB radio may be returning to Virgin Media. My reason being that the slate is in the same state of limbo as The Africa Channel ie it refers to the channels being "unavailable " not "no longer available as we usually see.
If VM took their feed from satellite, they could switch to taking the DAB feed, the Freeview feed (if it exists) or the UCB website.
The problem is that, if this is a cost cutting excercise by UCB, radio stations have to pay to be on the VM EPG.
