Along with Belfast'sNvTv , C9TV is one of two local or 'restricted' television services in Northern Ireland. [ [http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/tvlicensing/rtsl/main.htm Ofcom list of RTSLs] ]C9TV produces many local programmes and documentaries of local interest. Some of its most popular output is the news and current affairs programmes. Alongside news and current affairs, the station also broadcasts a number of hours of
Sky News every day. Music videos also make up a portion of the stations daily output.While most RSL local stations in the UK refer to themselves as "Channel 6" or "Six" or similar, the number 9 reflects the large number of stations receivable in the area. All 5 UK-wide services can be picked up in C9TV's transmission area, although Five coverage via analogue is weak in some parts. The Republic of Ireland's four channels can be picked up (from the
Holywell Hill transmitter outsideLetterkenny at high power), although only 3 had launched when C9TV was being conceived (though not by the time it had launched), resulting in the channel getting ninth place.ee also
