How We Make Watch Ireland On Air: Sources, Editorial Standards and Corrections

Watch Ireland On Air: Where and when to watch in Ireland — which Virgin Media or RTÉ channel carries the British hits, what's free-to-air, Irish catch-up, and every winner of Ireland's big TV competitions

This page explains who runs the site, where the information comes from, how we check it, and how to tell us about a mistake.

Who runs Watch Ireland On Air

Watch Ireland On Air is edited and published by Heejun Ahn, Editor & Publisher. The publisher sets the editorial rules and the list of sources, decides what the site covers and handles reader corrections. Watch Ireland On Air is one of the OnAir Network sites, all run by the same publisher.

Where the information comes from

• Schedules and air times. For Irish channels and air times, the source is the broadcasters' own schedules: the Virgin Media Television TV guide and RTÉ's schedules and press releases, with same-day public listings as a cross-check. Public listings data from TVmaze is used only for UK air dates and for series and episode numbers, never for Irish air times.
• Names, results and episode details. The shows' and broadcasters' official pages, press releases and announcements, plus established entertainment and news outlets. Results of Irish competitions are checked against RTÉ's own coverage and at least one other source. Each post lists its sources at the end.
• Video. When a show has an official clip, we embed it from the broadcaster's own YouTube channel. We do not reproduce full episodes or scripts.
• Photos. When we use a photo of a real person or event, it comes from Wikimedia Commons under its licence and carries a credit line.

How we check it

• Our publishing rules call for every air time, result and date to be matched against at least two sources before a post goes out.
• If the sources are missing or disagree, the rule is not to publish a guess: the post says what is unconfirmed, or leaves the detail out.
• Time-sensitive posts carry an “Updated” time in the byline, and when a schedule changes we update the same page instead of leaving an old version standing.

How we publish

• Drafts. Posts are prepared by an automated publishing workflow. It collects the data listed above and drafts each post from it, following the editorial and sourcing rules above.
• Images. Most lead images are original illustrations made for the site — empty sets, objects and abstract scenes. They contain no people, faces, text or logos. The information cards inside posts are made by our own scripts from the facts in the post.
• Bylines. Posts are signed “By the Watch Ireland On Air desk” because they come out of this workflow, not from an individual reporter. We do not invent authors.
• Limits. Posts are prepared and published on a schedule by the automated workflow. If you spot a mistake, please tell us — corrections matter.

How do I report a mistake?
