Channel 6 Game On now on Sky

Sky satellite subscribers will now have
access to Ireland’s only TV computer games program ‘Game On’ as the channel it
broadcasts on, Channel 6, was made available on Sky channel 223 this
week.

Game On is a half-hour long program with reviews and news. Previously, Channel 6 was viewable on NTL and Chorus cable networks in urban areas.

The channel was first set to launch on both Sky
and the cable networks. But it is understood that the company pulled
out of the original talks with Sky because the satellite broadcaster
would not offer Channel 6 a prominent position on the program guide
close to RTE and TV3. The new deal does not offer such.
