Ireland pushes for UK TV channels to make post-Brexit move- Guardian

Ireland pushes for UK TV channels to make post-Brexit move | Politics | The Guardian: "Ireland is facing stiff competition for the Brexit spoils. It is understood Belgian authorities have also held events in London for the broadcasting industry, and Luxembourg has been sending letters out to TV chiefs arguing it is a natural home for TV as the operator of the Astra satellite system which distributes all the main UK channels including Sky and the BBC.

The Netherlands, where Netflix is based, is also considered to be in a good position.

Ireland has already lured 21 financial services to Dublin because of Brexit, including Bank of America, JP Morgan, Barclays and the credit agency Standard & Poor’s.

 The Ofcom chief executive, Sharon White, warned last year “some are having to consider the disruption of relocation” warning that broadcasters may move staff “early” this year." 'via Blog this'
