    Hello all....

    Right there seems to be bits and pieces of info about MetalHertz FM scattered around a few different threads sending them off topic.. so im gonna put it all in the one thread..

    - Info -
    The station idea was conceived sometime in 2006, but was not really taken seriously until around May 2007. Basically we were sick of hearing all the radio stations both local and national playing the exact same songs as each other, sometimes in fact the set lists were so similar that you could tune to another station on the band and find them playing the exact same song that was on the previous station you just tried to get away from! Not everyone is into chart music, we have nothing against chart music, it’s just not our cup of tea. Nobody was catering for people that like to listen to Rock or Metal music, many stations don’t even consider it to be real music, but it is a hell of a lot more real than pressing a button on a computer to automatically generate a No.1 hit for you.. Anyway enough of that...

    We were tired of sitting around talking about how we never hear any rock on the airwaves or maybe once a year a station will play a bit if a band if on tour in the area and they are being paid to promote the gig for them. So we put together a plan to bring metal and rock to the airwaves of Waterford.

    In early may 2007 we started building our gear and planning a setup, after much testing etc. the idea fell apart as we lost our premises and with much else going on around us we had to suspend the idea for a few months, however in February of 2008 we got a new premises and began Broadcasting every weekend to the airwaves of Waterford on 99.9MHz, after only 3 weeks on air we doubled our power to give a stronger signal to listeners, then with the introduction of our "TXT Metal Hotline" the station came alive with requests flying in every night we were on air.. With the addition of our online stream we started to get a lot more international recognition with bands from across the globe sending in material for review and airplay. The station is growing more and more each week. We have promoted Many events and interviews already and hope to bring you many more Metal and Rock events in the future.
