All down to a change in the way Euronews operates. It used to have a single video stream linked to multiple audio soundtracks. Now it has completely separate services for each language market.

I posted early in May that VM UK had dropped the additional language streams on Euronews. It appears that VM Ireland just had a more convoluted way of making extra soundtracks available.

It was an ad for an show with Sky channel number and "NOW TV" on it that the end.
Viceland on demand content is available on Now TV, but not the broadcast stream.
