Temp stations due on next week, they could allocate any frequency but knowing the BAI its a deliberate choice to cause problems for pirates!

Sometimes I gotta wonder how much you actually know Rock Solid and how much you Bulls**t

"Knowing the Bai it's a deliberate choice to cause problems for pirates"

First of all do you think the Bai have nothing better to do than waste their time thinking oh i know lets licence a station and put it on 88.1 or 93.2 or 107.1 or wherever theres a pirate cos that will get rid of the pirates and second of all the Bai have nothing to do with frequency allocation, if you actually knew what you were talking about rather than spoofing your way through threads you'd realise what a stupid comment you'd made



The Bai issue Licences

Comreg issue frequencies

And frequency allocation is based on many things including where the transmission site is , what height the site is above sea level , what power transmitter is to be used , type of aerials etc etc they don't just say oh the a pirate there pop it on one pc there frequencies

A lot of the above are irrelevant when it comes to allocating temporary frequencies in Dublin.

There are a number of frequencies used in Dublin for temps and there have been times when Comreg has chosen a frequency that would frustrate a pirate.

And in truth who could them - its an efficient way of clearing the band.

until they return again after, or move frequency. so its a pointless exercise really.

Not really - its hard to retain listeners when you are changing frequencies all the time and/or if you have to go off air for a few days or weeks.

RDS has helped but imagine you are advertising with eg NRG and then it goes off air for s few days - you would not be happy !

It is more accurate to say that a pirate is on a Comreg allocated frequency in the first place and has to move than it is to say that Comreg allocate what a pirate is on in order to make it move off of it.

Have to say nrg sounding as good as ever on the tune in app. They still have live djs

Should be safe for them to return now. The temp station that was allocated 88.1 has been cancelled. It was an outdoor cinema in Celbridge.

See here:

They'll be off for a few days according to their FB page. The outdoor cinema have been granted use of 88.1 from 18th – 21st September.

Did they move last Christmas? Was it to 94.3?

Christmas FM were on 94.3 around Dublin last year but had another frequency around 88.1 from Saggart to cover Kildare and it could be picked up in much of Dublin there too. They also has a frequency around 99.4 for Wicklow. Again, it could be picked up on the southside. Effectively, that cut out a lot of possible options last year around Christmastime.

At the moment, 94.3 is the frequency in Dublin being used for 8Radio.com's temporary licence run.

I would suggest staying away from 88.1, 94.3 and 99.4 or 99.5. Heat are currently on 99.5, but a temporary licenced station for mental health is due to have a run there soon.

What about 91.9 or 107.9 as a frequency for NRG? Or, if 91.6 or 92.2. are vacated by the stations currently on those frequencies in Dublin and Kildare, respectively, they could be used in the future. Is NLR still broadcasting on 87.6 - another possible option?

I think they should look at 107.9. It hasn't been used in years

UCD/Belfield FM operate on 107.8 - though have not heard them on 107.8 for a while and their website does not mention a frequency and they are not listed on the BAI website.

There is always 97.3 which has been used by many temps including city wide temps in the past.

Is there any free frequencys temps haven't been on I wonder
