Welcome to the Celtic Broadcasting Channel, being televised to you at home and by way of radio. We shall cover important topics of the now and here, as well as cover a historical special and the end hour. But first, a word from our sponsers.



"Do you want a rich flavor? Something that starts the day right? Well the only cigarette approved by the health board of Ulster Gaelia can provide all those things. Grown in Zedonia and Criton, Kent tobacco isn't like the rest. It's a fresh and proper mix for the real Celtic man, and if you want to be a proper real Celt, you smoke a Kent."

Our first report comes from a University professor in Dublin, who claims smoking cigarettes causes health issues. Professor Caroline McDaniels believes overuse of smoking mass produced cigarettes is causing a rise in respiratory disease in the realm. She is planning to bring her full study on the findings before Parliament within the end of the year. 


Lusatia politics took a drastic twist as the Socialist Labor Party sweeps the results. No comment has been made from Parliament or the crown on the event, but it has been noted that the SLP might be rather cold to the UKUG and shift Lusatian policies in a direction away from the old norm.

Fleet Admiral Adama Cornwallace announced his intention to retire at the beginning of 1946, Cornwallace is famously known for leading the Royal Navy against the Galra threat and leading several successful campaigns in the Fifth Stoal War. His successor is to be determined by the admiralty board, they will be the supreme commander of all her majesty's fleet.

Parliament has voted to approve the expansion of realm provided medical care, per a small fee all citizens of Ulster-Gaelia will be covered in a universal health care system paid by a new tax taken from income and a fee of 10 pounds sterling per visit. The official expansion comes after a temporary measure brought in during the war and has been expanded upon ever since.



And now for our history hour. Today we shall discuss the 245th Light Brigade during the 3rd Gaelian War of expansion on Touli.

"It was here and now, we shall remember, the fallen foes of last November. Ever onward, they shall go, the Light Brigade of Captain Roe."

It was 1845, Gaelia was at war with her rivals for supreme power of the old Imperial world. Her fleets had devastated all, but the ground war on Touli had become a bloody Quagmire. With the colonies under the threat of being lost, his majesty King James Gordon II ordered over 300,000 troops of the Royal army to secure his holdings there. As the war raged, came the battle of Crimea in current day Caragel. 
Enemy forces had driven the green coat infantry into full retreat.  the battle was a lost cause, until Captain Roland "Roe" Graham and his Cavalry brigade the 245th arrived. Captain Graham was told to withdraw with the rest of the Gaelian army that was fleeing East, but Roe realized if they lost this battle it would be the end of Gaelian colonialism on Touli and possibly the beginning of wars being waged on his homeland. 

"Cowards! All of you! Damn you to damnation! I will meet death head on and embrace it!" he cursed the fleeing troops before ordering his 4,000 strong mounted unit into a full on charge right into the middle of the enemy position. What happened next is hard to explain. As gunfire and cannon tore the Light brigade into pieces they managed to reach heavily numbered enemy lines and break into them. After half an hour of hell, the Gaelian troops inspired by the charge joined back into the fray and fought off the enemy winning the battle. After the battle, General William Sinclair asked to see Captain Graham and his Brigade. But it was discovered that the entire brigade was wiped out. The event became known as the Charge of the Light Brigade. Gaelia won the war and retained its dominance over the Shawbalt for the remainder of the 1800's and a massive hold over Touli. In remembrance to the sacrifice of the 4,000 men a monument was built in Edinburgh in 1878, no unit in the Gaelian military can carry the honor of being the 245th and Clan Graham declared no more members would be called Roland after the captain brought honor to the clan.

"Unrivaled, unbeatable, easy to obtain. Mini presents its best class model yet, the Mod 3 subcompact is the most affordable and reliable car in the empire. With fuel efficiency unmatched by its competition and comfort that'll surprise you with its size, the Mod 3 can be yours today!"





A report from the Ministry of Health has highlighted an outbreak of a new strain of flu across greater Gaelia. The Ministry believes the strain originates from poor hygiene practices on trade vessels as the spread seems to originate in major ports of trade. A large scale disinfection program has begun with plans to reduce shipping until the outbreak is under control, the Ministry of Trade has begun to implement new practices to avoid another outbreak. Parliament has passed a two week mandatory quarantine of the Gaelian islands and colonies to reduce spread. The Ministry of Health has made its report available to the international community in the event the flu strain has spread beyond Gaelia.

The city state of Venezjan has cut ties completely siting an outbreak of bacterial infections across the state. The Ministry of Health is reviewing its report to see any similarity to the current outbreak in Gaelia and the one in Venezjan. With the city state shutting off ties and the impact of the outbreak, Queen McDonald has called for a state of emergency. The Ministry of Trade is quickly moving to divert Stoal purchases from other sources to avoid economic recession. Prime Minister Moriarty stated the event will cause a severe setback to the economic system of Gaelia.

Zedonia railway expansions are well underway, over 55% of the expanded railway could be completed soon. In a shocking turn of events, Wallace Rail the major railway company in Gaelia will not be the primary rail service provider in the new expanse. That honor falls to Great Western Rail; a publicly owned rail company spurred to compete with Wallace Rail. GWR unveiled their two flagship locomotives that will service the Western Zedon railway network in helping develop the colony further.



Truro class locomotive, designed to give the Caledonian a run for its money, the Truro boasts speed and stability nearly unrivaled in Gaelia. The Truro even matches some Koi locomotives in terms of quality. It can run passenger and cargo trains with ease.



57 Pannier "Duck" 
A shockingly strong tank engine, the 57 Pannier nicknamed Duck, is the most powerful tank engine in Gaelia. The Pannier can haul large cargo trains and shunt with ease, however its not called duck for a good reason, the engine has poor stability making it unlikely to pull passenger trains.

Welcome to Celtic Broadcasting Channel, we are coming to you live via televised broadcast or radio across all provinces of the realm. 


A sudden meeting in Parliament has begun concerning the annexation of the United Agrarian Republic by the Galra Empire. Several members have called the action appalling and disturbing, the emergency assembly will determine if there is a national threat to the realm. The Admiralty board has assembled and declared that the military will be on alert but resume current patrols and assignments. 

In other news, a peace conference in Lusatia has assembled several leaders across Ouhiri in hopes of preventing another global war. Some Gaelian politicians are not enthusiastic, stating while the Lusatians mean well it might be pointless. Senior Minister Howell is representing the UKUG in the meeting. 

Several millions of pounds worth of projects have begun across Ulster-Gaelia pumping new jobs into the economy that will help the lowered job market following the outbreak of the plague. Health precautions and screenings will help stave off further outbreaks and workers are being welcomed into their new jobs in droves. The Ministry of Treasury is projecting a massive economic surge with infection numbers starting to wane. 

The last Kurgan Class Battleship is being rotated out of service and into its new home in Oppidum where it'll be serviced into a museum. It will be replaced by a new Vanguard Class vessel entering service. According to the Admiralty Board, this is the last Vanguard Class to enter active service as the Royal Navy plans to unveil a new Battleship Class in 46' and being cycling out the long tenured warship. The H.M.S. Vercingetorix is the most advanced equipped of its class and will be deployed to a full patrol in the Shawbalt assigned with making sure shipping lanes are safe.



The H.M.S. Ulzha has served in the Royal fleet from 1899 to 1945. It has seen action in the war of 1910 and the fifth stoal war.

McLauren unveiled plans to begin selling their cars internationally beginning with Aegis Pact nations first and then Lusatia, they will sell sport models and economy cars such as the Fox 1. McLauren is the first of Celtic Auto's divisions to enter the international market, a 3 year plan to sell cars in over ten countries will determine if the other divisions enter the market as well. 


McLauren Fox1, V6 economy car that is sold in the UKUG will enter Kumosenkan, Amali and Elenria later this month. 

Parliament passed the Annexation Response Act of 45' in response to Galra annexing the United Agrarian Republic, all trade is halted with Galra and sanctions have been placed on their empire. Galra shipping will not be allowed into UKUG waters or shipping lanes which will restrict Galra's ability to trade in the Shawbalt considerably. Prime Minister Moriarty stated, "we must not tolerate an empire seeking to reattain its position after it plunged the world into a destructive war. The UKUG will have nothing to do with this nation and prevent them the luxury of having us as a nation that allows their shipping in our waters." Naval command is on alert and several military bases on the main islands are now prepared for military action in the event Galra becomes a hostile state again. The RAF is conducting new exercises to counter aerial assaults and citizens are reminded of evacuation plans that were formed from the last conflict.

Queen McDonald and Prime Minister Moriarty met with Galran officials in an effort to de escalate tensions between the Galran Empire and the UKUG, the meeting was considered a disappointment. Officials state that currently embassies will be exchanged but due to the nature of the meeting the state will continue to monitor activity in the channel and trade with Galra will continue to be withheld. Prime Minister Moriarty stated that Galra showed it was not capable of conducting a meeting in a respectful manner and the realm will continue to move on until Galra becomes a threat. 

Wallace rail has announced two new powerful locomotive classes for long haul freight and passenger trains across the islands and colonial regions. The Mallard and LNER A3 were both unveiled to enter the rail fleet later this year in a push to compete with Great Western Railway by making larger more powerful locomotives that can run longer without needed to stop for supplies. 

Finally, Atari announced a new computing system that will assist in the UK stock market and finance sector. The new computer dubbed 'Alice' will formulate mathematic calculations at a reasonable speed and assist companies in the financial sector in composing loans, buying statements and quarterly profit reports. Atari will begin selling these computers at a rapid pace at the end of the month.
