Tele-G

TeleG was established as the first daily digital Gaelic TV channel in Scotland on 31st October 1999. It is currently only available on the Freeview platform.

Programmes are transmitted on TeleG between 6-7 pm each day.

The Broadcasting Act 1996, requires that programmes shown will be repeats of programmes transmitted on analogue channels (many of which are first shown outside peak hours). The Communications Act 2003 created the Gaelic Media Service which will decide on the future development of Gaelic Broadcasting services.

The Broadcaster and service provider of TeleG is SDN, the company which holds the licence for DTT multiplex A. SDN Ltd, owned by NTL, S4C and United News and Media, was awarded the Multiplex A licence in May 1998. Part of the capacity on Multiplex A is reserved for services provided by Channel 5, S4C in Wales and Gaelic programming in Scotland.
