It may be a relay of an online Swedish dance station called Radio 7, if it is still around!

that station closed down a few years ago.

GalaxyFM from Kildare broadcasting on 99.0 FM at the moment, The signal is patchy in Dublin but it’s there.

CLUB FM seem to have ceased. Their online stream not working for the last few days.

Just checked - they are "banging" away on the Radio Garden app! It's a bit of a misnomer calling themselves Club FM!

Galaxy FM from Kildare on 99.5 FM this evening, A better signal on that frequency than 99.0 earlier with Lyric FM & BBC Radio 1

Is that the station which had the id "Radio 7" at one stage?

Speaking of stations that used to be on 94.3, I don't think the Unid hard dance station returned since last November. Remember it was on various frequencies? Usually too close to others or even on top of them!

I picked it up the odd time. I remember one weekend in 2019 (too lazy to do a search!) where it was battling with All 80s on the same frequency - 94.3! That was when its signal was particularly strong around the southside for some reason. Depending on what street or corner you happened to be on, you heard one or other! It also turned up in other places. I understand it spent some time on 87.5 which was not helping Chill on 87.6!

Radiodays2021 · 20-01-2021 3:06pm

94.3 was relaying Charity Radio, as per usual now for a Saturday, later this afternoon.

Declan A Walsh · 23-01-2021 5:55pm

So did The Beach, who were on 105.7, quietly call it a day late 2020 in the same way that they quietly appeared on the airwaves a couple of years ago? And, of course, their alter egos The Vault and Star1057! I preferred those two!

Dipole Keith · 23-01-2021 6:52pm

I heard IceRadio on 91.6 FM this evening, Signal a little weaker than 93.2

I heard The Beach today! It's back!

I also barely picked up a dance station on 105.2. Would that be RetroNow?

Declan A Walsh · 24-01-2021 6:18pm

According to Facebook, Darren O'Neill, who seems to be involved behind the scenes with Retro Radio, or Retro FM, and occasionally presents on it, is also involved with a station called Rhythm FM. Again, according to Rhythm FM's Facebook account, it was on 91.6 but moved yesterday to 88.8 on account of Ice Radio's move to 91.6. The Facebook Account also mentioned 99.3, suggesting that it used to be on that frequency at some point. Has anyone picked up Rhythm FM on any frequency?

Incidentally, he also presented on Easy Radio in the past.

Radiodays2021 · 24-01-2021 7:09pm

Yes picked it up on friday on 88.8

i think reception of it was reported here a couple of times, seem to remember 105.2 and possibly 94.3 being mentioned for it.
i suspect it's a very low powered operation, probably very local to it's area of broadcast and no further.

JDxtra · 24-01-2021 7:23pm

The Rhythm FM station appears low powered, so it may not travel too far.

Ice Radio are off air today having previously been on 93.2 and for a brief period on 91.6 yesterday.

There was a strong blank carrier on 107.1 for a time last night.

New arrival Galaxy Kildare on 99.5 had some live presenters yesterday.

RetroNow on 105.2.

Hot FM on 91.0 as normal, deserving if nothing else credit for their resilience!

Club FM mentioned on there Facebook page they would be back this week, this may explain the carrier on 107.1

Sorry if not the thread to ask these type of questions, but is there much point getting a DAB radio in the Dublin region, I like finding interesting pirates, mainly using the RadioBox app at the minute
