Hate to disappoint you, but I'd say it'll be more Susan McCann & philomena begley than cash & Nelson et al. He has shows on 'Irish Tv' and it's a lot of this stuff..... not to my taste but sure there you are.

yeah looks like the same home grown rubbish that's shown on Irish TV.

It is not the 1st as they say. Back in the analogue days CMT was broadcast 24/7 in Europe. Didn't last long though.

CMT seemed to just show the same 30 videos over and over in a playlist, wasnt much on it to keep the audience watching.

Yep, I seem to remember CMT (Country Music Television) was available to us on Cork Multi-Channel TV analogue cable TV service in Cork City at one stage back in the '90s. I think it may have replaced either Music Box (Thorne EMI) channel or original version of MTV Europe channel for a while and there was a lot of viewers who had become accustomed to Pop/Rock Music very unhappy with Country Music as a replacement!

Some channels just do not seem to attract long term stable viewing and growing audiences. Classic fm TV was a popular with Classical Music/Film Themes around 2003 but was probably gone by 2004/2005 period although it's radio station equivalent has managed to remain on air for many years before during and after the demise of Classic fm TV!

Did it start yet? I havent even checked if it has!

It has.
