Mark Carpenter, Director of Regulatory and Corporate Affairs at Sky Ireland, said: “TG4 and its content offering is an important part of Irish culture, so we’re very pleased to announce this partnership expansion for our Irish customers. Our partnership with TG4 is a prime example of how collaboration between broadcasters and platforms enables our customers to continue to access all of the best content in a way that’s flexible to them.”
 
TG4’s Director General Alan Esslemont welcomed today’s announcement saying: “I am pleased that Sky customers can now access TG4’s programming at their convenience and on their device of choice. TG4’s ‘Gach Áit’ strategy is focused on prominence and findability of Irish language content across all TV platforms and we welcome Sky’s commitment to ensuring visibility and prominence for Irish language content on Sky Q and Sky Go customer offerings. We hope the inclusion of TG4 content on Sky will also introduce new audiences to TG4’s programming.”
