UCB Ireland to launch on satellite

The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) has signed a ten year contract with United Christian Broadcasters (Ireland) Limited for the provision of a satellite radio service, which will be available on the Sky digital platform in Ireland and the UK.

UCB Ireland will be a dedicated Christian radio service which will give an Irish perspective of news, issues and life in Ireland.

Programmes will have an interdenominational focus and the primary target audience will be 25-55 year olds.

The service will broadcast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, from January 2008.

On Monday 16th July, the contract for the first Christian satellite licence ever awarded in Ireland was duly signed at the offices of the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland (BCI) by Peter Bradshaw and Richard Willoughby of UCB. After many years and much endeavour, UCB Ireland now has a licence, and work is underway to prepare the building, programming, acquire staff and equipment, all before we launch early in 2008.

This is a cause of much celebration for us, and we are supremely grateful to God for all His mercies to us. We also thank all our supporters who have enabled us to get this far through their prayers and financial support.
