weird radio station at 87.5 fm

120_Minutes

My car stereo has a habit of resetting itself and losing all my presets, so i came out of work yesterday (7pm) to find it on the default of 87.5

this is the first time its happened since i moved here and was surprised to find a station there. i was even more surprised to find the guy presenting it (and i'm being kind here) never properly learned the art of radio presenting. in short, he was (unintentionally) bloody halarious.

came out this morning and all there was was static....


...did i dream this? anyone have any info?

Me and the housemates used to break are selves laughing at that guy, if its who i think it is. does he play all country songs and songs about cork? If so its him. He aparently uses a home transmitter (like the good old pirate stations) and only broadcasts for a few hours in the evenings.

Its fairly hard to pick the signal up, he must be using a ****e transmitter.
We can only get it around the wilton area

Just picked it up this evening in Douglas, at first I genuinely thought it was a piss-take! Have to say the music is great though, I'll definitely be tuning in again!
