Saorview roll-out to reach West Cork

Saorview’s digital roll-out has been extended to include pockets of patchy coverage in West Cork where five existing masts will be upgraded to broadcast the service.

Masts located at Bandon, Leap, Drimoleague, Timoleague, Ballydehob and Schull will be upgraded to facilitate the roll out, Saorview announced over the weekend.

The move was welcomed by local residents amid growing concerns over the analogue switch-off on Oct 24.
