They're not entirely unintelligable. Yes, you wouldn't sit down and effortlessly enjoy an Irish Gaelic soap if you were Scots Gaelic but you could just about watch the channel, including shows like the news and pretty much grasp what was being said. It's like Portugese and Spanish. Different languages but with common threads.
S4C, like Five, is on a COM mux (MuxA - replacing an Anytime stream, Nuts and a shopping channel).
Wrong. S4C Digidol replaces QVC, which means that QVC timeshares with S4C2 and Bid TV. S4C is on the former SDN, now ITV half of Mux A, whereas the Anytime sh!te is mostly on the Five half.
More than you think, there are a lot of Irish Gaelic spekers who can benifit, a freind of mine is learnin' gaelic, my dad speaks it fluently, and I could get around, I think if it shows show programmes helping people to learn Gaelic it will do well, just as RTE International will do well,

Irish Gaelic is different than Scottish Gaelic. They're mutually unintelligible.

Its been testing for the last few weeks at 11.953 H under "6736".
Here's the not-that-interesting cap from the above channel. Basically it just fades on and off whilst playing BBC Alba radio.
Also, very little programming on TG4 actually helps you learn irish, its now full of repeats or Spongebob and Pimp My Ride . Spongebob dubbed in irish isn't that great, its like that ad for bio-oil.
In the evenings its Paisean Faisean which is a car crash dating show where the guy picks the clothes for the woman (also men in some specials) and the best goes on a date, and then some crappy reality/talent shows and then some nights Irish music.
The only time i've known TG4 to provide anything educational was the drama I studied for my Leaving Certificate. Its more suited to the people in the Gaeltacht area who are already fluent in it, bit of a waste of money in my opinion, think its only 100,000 in ireland left.
