Hi, could anyone tell me the name of a local radio station that peole in celbridge listen to and also the local paper ? Thanks

Prenderb

KFM, about 97.6FM. Dunno about the local paper, maybe Liffey Champion?

Google is your friend.

Liffey Champion
Leinster Leader

Id say the Liffey Champion more then the Leinster Leader.
The Liffey Champion is mostly NW kildare focused imo

L1011

I'd doubt many people in Celbridge *actually* listen to Kfm, try the Dublin stations. Kfm has woeful listenership figures and most south Kildare at that.

Champion definitely for local paper.

Ken.

There's that newish radio station i105 i think its called. that's fairly popular in that region

You know wrong. Dead last in the entire country in weekday reach figures. Never gets out of the bottom five in any metric.

Actually no - you are incorrect.

While it is not performing as well as the majority of other local stations it is still getting a greater weekly reach than ALL of the national stations in Kildare. It also has a greater weekday share than all of the National stations.

So please - examine the figures first. KFM is a good local station that is starting to establish itself in a very busy Kildare market. Remember, most radio listeners in Kildare can also tune into all of the Dublin stations.

As a rule - the further away you go from Dublin - the more popular local stations are.

Figures don't lie - its doing woefully. Do you work for them, perchance?

No - I have absolutely no connection to them at all.

Just because you don't like the station - does not mean that it is not popular by other segments of people living in Kildare.
