FM Radio on Cable

zilog_jones

I just noticed recently that Chorus still have some FM radio stations on cable here in Limerick. I remember years ago my grandad telling me such a service did exist, but I'm the only person I know who actually tried it (his hi-fi didn't have any proper aerial inputs).

Anyway, here's what I can find on it:

100.0 BBC World Service
104.3 BBC Radio 2
104.9 BBC Radio 3
105.2 BBC Radio Ulster
105.5 BBC Radio 1
105.9 BBC Radio 4
106.2 Classic FM

There's no RDS on them (I assume they get them from satellite), so I found out what they were by listening to them online or waiting for the announcers. Do any other cable providers still do this as well?

I could also get most the local stations pretty clear:
89.4 RTÉ Radio 1
91.6 RTÉ 2fm
93.8 RTÉ RnaG
95.0 Live 95FM
95.9 Clare FM
96.8 Wired FM
99.0 RTÉ Lyric FM
101.2 Today FM
107.0 Newstalk

NTL have redesgined their site and by the looks of it there's no link to this information anymore so you may want to save it before it dissapears altogether.

NTL.COM is the UK NTL site, they still host the remains of their old NTL Ireland site.

NTL.IE is the upc site.

Ah yes, good to know it's available somewhere.
