The Rebel County is set to be exposed to global audiences in a whole new way when Cork TV launches on our screens from December 1st.
This exciting new concept comes from the producers of the award winning ‘Hot Country’ which is the longest running country music show in Europe.
“This is a fresh and exciting television programme which is about to put Cork on the map like never before,” proprietor of Hot Country TV, Hugh O’Brien said. “Cork TV, a brand new hour long show, will begin airing on December 1st on Sky Channel 588 and Freeview Channel 279, Free to Air Satellite, YouTube and www.hotcountrytv.com straight into homes across Ireland, the UK and worldwide.”
“It will showcase the stories, people, places, and culture that make Cork unique – from local legends and emerging talent, to stunning scenery, community spirit and so much more. Cork TV promises to be a platform for the people of Cork,” he said.
A PLATFORM ‘TO SPEAK TO THE WORLD’
Cork TV promises to be truly special in local pride and global reach. The shows will be produced in conjunction with the London Irish Association, as well as the Corkman Association in Boston, New York and the UK, thereby creating a strong bridge between Cork and its vibrant diaspora communities abroad.
Innishannon native and well known Hot Country TV presenter, Eilish O’Sullivan, will be anchor of the new show.
“This isn’t just a show, it’s a platform for Cork to speak to the world,” Eilish said.
Whether you’re walking down Patrick Street or reminiscing from across the Atlantic, Cork TV is your front-row seat to everything Cork has to offer – from culture and cuisine to sport and song.
“By partnering with organisations in London, Boston and New York, we will be able to connect Corkonians everywhere to home, heritage and heart,” producer Hugh O’Brien added.
Hugh and Eilish welcome individuals and communities to get in touch if they have events or stories they would like to see featured on the show. Cork TV will be visiting every town in Cork and if you have a good story to tell or ideas for show content, contact the producers by emailing corktv25@gmail.com or calling 087 6859895.
