Gael Media has been producing high-quality content ranging from documentary to light entertainment to live music, as well as event programming and formats since it was founded in 1989 by Managing Director Christy King.
Based in the West of Ireland, Gael Media is passionate about creating engaging content as Gaeilge and in English. It also has a track record of creating long-running returnable series that continue to engage across all platforms, most notably TG4’s hit Country music show, Glór Tíre, now running for 20 seasons, and recognised as an important launchpad for new Irish Country talent.
Gael Media is highly respected in the Irish film and TV industry due to its vast experience working with some of the best of Irish talent both in front and behind the camera. Training and developing new talent is a cornerstone of what Gael Media does, cross-skilling those already in the industry and supporting those starting their careers. As a result, Gael Media boasts an engaged talent base that returns to work with it across its slate of programmes.
