Irish TV program on games to hit Channel 6

Game On, described as a “brand new Irish gaming show”, is set to be broadcasted on Channel 6 from this Friday.

Channel 6 is currently available on cable networks NTL and Chorus in urban areas throughout Ireland. The channel already features its own music and film shows. 

The half-hour long, Game On is to include reviews, news, charts and “lots more”. At least some of its setup research was conducted on boards.ie’s computer games forum.

Stating that they were looking to create an Irish TV gaming program, in August they posted that they “are currently at brainstorming stage”. And asked was there anything the boards.ie games community wanted to see include, and even “don’t want to see included”.

Recently the same forum poster returned, saying “just to let you know the gaming programme has been given the go ahead on channel 6. It will begin broadcast on fri 27th of October and it will air at 7pm!”. Although at this point it contains few details, the TV program now has a dedicated webpage at channel6.ie.
