TG4\u2019s Autumn Collection Connects and Shares with style<\/h2>\n

Energy, imagination and sharing stories lie at the heart of the programming and on-line content on offer in TG4\u2019s Autumn line-up, revealed at a launch in the very appropriate setting of the brand-new O\u2019Donoghue Centre for Theatre, Drama and Performance in NUI Galway this afternoon.<\/p>\n

The energy ranges across the channel\u2019s entire output, especially in the music, sports and kids\u2019 output over the coming months, offering traditional country and western music, the Junior Eurovision song contest and extensive coverage of the annual Oireachtas na Gaeilge cultural festival at mid-term.<\/p>\n

The imagination permeates the extensive drama series from home and abroad, none more so than in the exciting new Cine4 initiative for new film projects in Irish which will produce feature-length works for premiere release in Irish cinemas and for later broadcast on TG4. The enduring flagship Ros na R\u00fan series also continues to break new ground and a discerning choice of acquired series from North America and Scandinavia adds further quality to the schedule.<\/p>\n

Shared stories have been a hallmark of TG4 from the outset and it is now transitioning seamlessly to add it to new platforms. New factual TV series this Autumn tell the history of the GAA in Ulster, profile the lives of our young London-based high achievers, reveal how hurling influenced ice-hockey in Canada and highlight how an almost unknown Cork-born woman won international acclaim for her humanitarian work in two major European wars in the middle of the last century. We\u2019ll also see how a Spanish Armada survivor chronicled life in 16th century Ireland and witness the efforts of a contemporary remote community to battle against State neglect and the ravages of emigration.<\/p>\n

There is also a mouth-watering line-up of free to view movies and a great selection of exclusive live Gaelic games, rugby and horse-racing as well as further exciting developments for TG4\u2019s on-line offering for young people and Irish learners on the Player, the Web and social media.
