Saorview ( ) is the national digital terrestrial television (DTT) service in Ireland. It is owned by RTÉ and operated by 2RN (RTÉ Networks). The service began operation on 29 October 2010 on a trial basis with full launch on 26 May 2011. By legislation it was required to be available to approximately 90% of the population by end of October 2010 in a public testing capacity and nationwide by December 2011. The national public launch was preceded by a public information campaign, which began on 15 March 2011, with a television and radio advertising beginning 17 March 2011. Saorview was officially launched on 26 May 2011 by Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte TD and the service became the primary source of broadcast television in Ireland following the ending of analogue transmissions on 24 October 2012.
