List of current stations and presenters

Cheeky Chops

Please don't shoot me down as you seem a tough crowd (:)), but is there a list of radio stations, presenters and frequencies on here?

I just noticed a poster in Bray advertising PJ on a station I never heard of for the breakfast show. Is that for real?

(I did look and I'm so sorry if I am one of those annoying new people and there is a thread in caps already)

PJ Gallagher is presenting 4fm's breakfast show with Damien Farrley. They started last month.

If you are saying you never heard of 4FM before, it has been broadcasting on FM since February 2009. It won a competition for a multi-city license which primarily covers Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Co. Clare. It is supposed to cater for an over 45s audience. It also has another transmitter which effectively covers Co. Kildare.

In its early days, as well as plenty of music-driven shows, it had shows that were more talk-based presented by Damien Kiberd, Tom McGuirk and Derek Davis. For a long time, after Damien departed the station, David Harvey presented a talk show on the station. These days Niall Boylan is the main talk show host on the station. There used to be a number of specialist music shows at nighttime.

Gareth O'Callaghan is the only presenter left from the very beginning of the station. Jim McCabe has been a presenter on 4FM since 2011. Damien Farrelly came on board during this summer as a weekend presenter.

Choice FM, one of the shareholders, is also a shareholder in classic rock station Radio Nova. Over the years, presenters have moved between the two stations, Indeed, Damien Farrelly and P.J. Gallagher presented the breakfast show on Radio Nova for one week some weeks before the announcement of the new one for them on 4FM. Do a search on this radio sub-forum and you will see plenty of threads about 4FM, including one about the recently installed breakfast show with the lads.

And one for Bray/Greystones, hence the ads down there - them and Nova cover the commuter belt as well as Dublin County. The Meath/Louth sections are pretty well covered by overspill from Three Rock.
