TG4 — Teilifís na Gaeilge
TG4 (Teilifís na Gaeilge) is the Irish-language national public-service broadcaster. Commissions independent productions for the main channel and its strands.
Strands
- Cúla4 — TG4's children's strand. Distinct from RTÉ — Raidió Teilifís Éireann's RTÉ Junior — never conflate the two.
Commissioning
TG4 commissions across drama, documentary, children's, music, sport (including GAA) and entertainment. Irish-language productions are central, with some bilingual + subtitled content.
