Bubble Hits

Bubble Hits is an Irish owned digital television music channel owned by Creative Sounds. The channel launches late September 2007.


Location

The company, and their studios are located in Ashbourne, County Meath, Republic of Ireland. [1] [2]. They also have studios based in London, UK.The channel is broadcast free-to-air, therefore viewers do not need to have a Sky subscription to view the channel. Despite being Irish-owned, it is not licenced by the BCI but instead by the UK's Ofcom to "Creative Sounds UK", who are based in Northchapel. This is not unheard of amongst Irish channels, as well as those from other countries with restrictive broadcasting legislation, such as Sweden. It is presumably due to BCI's requirements that, that a high, percentage of programming must be Irish produced.

Availability

This channel will be carried by Sky Digital,UPC Ireland,Magnet Entertainment,Smart Vision and SCTV. Currently this cable/digital operators broadcast the Pan-European version of the channel.
