Does look like the BCI know anything about this service :eek: or Chorus TV :eek: http://www.bci.ie/licensed_operators/tv_services_chorus.html

Just to update everyone on this, the amount of replies is phenominal

Chorus TV removed their licence for the sports channel in 2005, the BCI have yet to update their website. They never intended on replacing it with a Documentry channel as suggested on wikipedia.

The music channel is to be called Infinity Channel to be operated by Intermission Studio.

There are 2 other licenses

1. Womens TV (WTV)
2. The Business and Property Channel

Both issued to Commerical Brocasting Ltd.

They relicenced it to show documentaries - I would suspect this means they did intend to. Just because they didn't doesn't mean they never planned to.

According to UPC they never relicensed the service, they told the BCI that it no longer existed and that they had no further plans for it in the future. Hence the license was not renewed.
