Colm O'Regan: Forget mindfulness, searching Saorview can help your mood

An anniversary slipped by this year while we were all distracted. The 10th anniversary of Saorview being switched on on May 26, 2011.
You might remember Miriam O’Callaghan doing a big switch with a computer mouse in October 2012, but that was the switch off. No, 10 years ago this summer we were in the throes of financial meltdown but also wall-to-wall Saorview Warning advertising, the SEPA and GDPR of its day. Rabbits ears up and down the country were being thrown out. Coax-cable holes were drilled into old cottages to make sure there was no interruption in supply of Coronation Street. Forget ‘green retrofit’ or vaccination programmes, Saorview was the Big Deal.
