In the first book of its kind, Iarfhlaith Watson explores the role of Irish broadcasting in sustaining and promoting the Irish language and a sense of national identity. He discusses the ambitions of the Irish Free State in relation to the establishment of the Dublin broadcasting station, 2RN, in 1926, and the presence of Irish-language programs on national radio and, from 1962, on television channels. He describes the campaigns for the establishment, first, of Raidió na Gaeltachta in 1972 and, second, of Teilifís na Gaeilge (later TG4) in 1996, and the debates which they engendered, presenting the arguments for and against the ideologies and practicalities of the production, presentation and reception of Irish-language programs on all Irish channels.
