TV3 are planning to launch a new 24-hour news channel.
The Sunday Business Post reports that the commercial broadcaster is preparing to introduce several new channels, including a 24-hour news service, childrens channel and sport.
It is thought the news channel would be rolling as opposed to constant live news.
Last July, Virgin Media Ireland bought TV3 for 80 million euro and this move is seen as a natural step in its relationship with its new owner.
