Dublin Community Television

Anyone heard about this?

Here's the website: www.dctv.ie/


Reading it there I still dont 'get' what they do.

They seem 'socialisty', especially with the logo there ;D

Rose Dugdale is apparently a director of it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Dugdale

Anyone know anything else or info?

From looking at the membership list ( www.dctv.ie/Membership/members%20list%20mg.pdf ) Rose seems to be a member of 'Tar Isteach', (http://www.taristeachnorthbelfast.org/ ) an ex republican prisoner organisation. She is also marked as having an 'individual' membership. So they seem to accept political membership of the organisation.

And apparently has been granted a broadcast licence which commenced in 2007;

Its not that Dublin City station is it? - the one that Adrien kennedy does be on at night?

I should mention that I dont have ntl, so iv never seen that channel.

This looks interesting alright. That Dublin City station doesn't seem very socialist at all - just amateur-ish. I'd like to see more from this. Maybe we could unite in some way. I've often though of getting a working class TV using YouTube or similar sites as a platform. Something worth thinking about perhaps.

I was looking at that station and I think it is it actually. DCTV it's called. Was looking at it in my mates house. You can only get it on digital though.

I always thought that was called "Dublin City TV" - not community.

I have Sky digital and I cant get it.

If it is the station, its a big let down letting the likes of Adrien Kennedy spout his right wing shite - the person who called those who didnt pay their bin charges 'Spongers' and drug addicts 'Scum'.

A right tosser.

Oh maybe I'm wrong so. I just know it was called DCTV. Must have got mixed up.

I hate idiots who don't support strikes and protests. They are usually the ones who are getting paid to support the Government and the Government-controlled Councils. Give me a workers' council any day!

So its certainly not that "Dublin City" station, thank christ.
