I hope not. It's a superb programme.

It is when youve seen it 2 or 3 years in a row,not 10 or 20.

If you're in the greater Dublin area or along the east coast, there is work taking place at the Kippure transmitter today affecting all radio channels.

Was yesterday too, according to this:

You come across as anti-rte. Maybe it's the grass you're chewing?

horse7

It's probably because I'm listening to rte that I'm aware it's going off air . The Darcy show can be very interesting,and it's annoying when the station goes mid sentence. As regards anti rte ,rte radio 1 has most of the best talk shows in the country.

NIMAN

Probably the Russians.

You can let them know by emailing 2rntech (at) rte.ie and just give them your approximate location so they know which transmitter you're listening to.

Are you sure it's definitely the transmitter that's down and not an issue with reception?
It's definitely just RTE Radio 1 and you've checked with another radio?

horse7

Thanks, will log transmission off times and email them.

horse7

It went again today, I've just emailed them.

At last an explanation,. Thank you for your query. It is possible that you could have lost service briefly yesterday if tuned to our transmitter at Kippure (89.1 for Radio 1). We are carrying out some major engineering works on the mast there which requires occasional short breaks to protect the workers on the structure. This is likely to re-occur several more times (including today) until the work is complete in June. RTÉ Radio 1 should also be available from our Three Rock transmitter in your area on 88.5MHz, as an alternative. Regards, 2RN Tech.
