While the politicians continue to argue about what Brexit will look like, broadcasters have begun to execute their plans to ensure their services remain freely received throughout the EU.

We were pleased to host Michael O'Keeffe and a number of his team at our offices for a recent seminar enabling a number of our broadcaster clients to understand the Irish regulatory regime in greater detail.
"The head of the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) has revealed the organisation has received its first TV licence application for a London-based broadcaster.
