Channel 6 in Ireland will launch on March 30, it was confirmed today.
The service has originally planned to launch on Sky in addition to NTL and Chorus, but those plans were shelved after it failed to secure its desired EPG slot. At launch, the channel will be available to 600,000 homes via cable.
Last month, it was revealed that Channel 6 has acquired the rights to numerous shows from CBS in America.
