Global Catholic TV station to reach Irish homes

A WORLDWIDE 24/7 Catholic TV station will be available to an extra 200,000 Irish homes next year.

Chorus, the Limerick-based cable TV company, revealed yesterday they are working to include the global Catholic network channel Eternal World Television Network (EWTN) on its listings in 2006.

The company has taken the decision following calls by a Limerick-based Catholic lobby group headed by former army colonel, John Phelan.
