UBC Radio Ireland may also close on UPC Channel 918.
All UK targetted UCB TV and radio channels have now closed on satellite. AFAIK UCB Ireland is still broadcasting.

Were the UK variants available on UPC? Are they still on air on cable? Been told that UCB UK radio continues on DAB. Not sure if they ever did broadcast on Freeview.

If VM needed an alternative feed, there are sources available. However, radio stations have to pay VM to be on the EPG, so if this is a cost cutting measure I doubt they will continue on cable.

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.
