So who's your "mate"?

Listened briefly on the way to work. strong signal in west Dublin. Good idea putting it on straight after xmas fm. They will no doubt get a good few listeners that had xmas FM on the preset.

Fair enough, could you give us a bit more info though?

Will there be live programming? Or will it be Similar to Sun 80s?

Is it a long term venture or see how it goes?

DopeTech

Listened again brielfy on the way home, not a bad selection but may need to randomise the playlist a little more, two songs out of three were 5ive.

Also not as strong signal as I thought only the m50.

Apologies, I seen your other post. I still find it interesting that your say Nrg on here yet its NRG everywhere else!

But to whom ever is running this new gig, best of luck. Pretty good so far, it's a style I don't think done by anyone else.

has this station got an online presence does anyone know?

As regards stations playing music from the '90s, Mike O'Brien had a few on the go over the years. In the early '00s, he ran a pirate called Breeze FM. I don't know about its style as I never heard it. I did hear his two temporary licenses, though, later in that decade - The 90s Network. The style was somewhat different - more dance-oriented stuff for a start, and it was like a reunion of guys who had been on pirates together, especially Freedom FM! And, of course, it wasn't automated!

The station that seem to come closest to NINETIES was Real 80s from three or four years ago. Its musical mix was quite similar, with the same emphasis on adult pop and some rock, albeit a decade earlier. It was automated and also on 88.1. Maybe there is common ownership between those two stations.

Real 80s was a great station in the summer of 2012 if I remember correctly and they played some good obscure Irish and American stuff too.

It's sounding great so far, and it's thanks to this thread that I discovered it. I'm really enjoying the music.

DopeTech

Only listened for about a max of about 40 minutes over 3 days, have heard Deep Blue Something - breakfast at Tiffany's and Radiohead - No surprises twice. Hopefully it's not going to be that repetitious or I'll be swithing off before long.

Tuned in today , Very good audio sound . Im listening in the North East , Is there an RDS on the station? , Mine still has NRG FM on my RDS , Thanks

marno21

Top notch audio, 88.1 and a strong signal is very reminiscent of Real 80s

The guy who owned Real 80s was on Radiowaves' forum, could be around here too.

i had nineties coming up on my car the other day.

Just looking through the Facebook page, it looks like it's being run by the same guys that did Kiss FM Dublin back in 2012, it's the same Facebook page that they used to use I think.

Lord Nikon

From the owner of the station...

For online presence, there is a facebook page, it may soon be on the tune in app
The station is new and the format will be modified to help reduce some receptive issues that may occur.
Music will be updated we are trying to be selective and pick only the very best and biggest hits from the 90s
There is RDS which currently reads (nineties)
Live broadcasts are currently not planned but that is not to say that it won’t happen.

Toto Wolfcastle

It's great. I haven't had a chance to listen to it much but I haven't heard a bad song on it yet!

They certainly have some connection to them. Scroll down the FB page linked above and there are posts from 2013 referring to it as Kiss FM.

sorry about that. i should have been clearer. i was talking about the other station mentioned which closed recently that was on 88.1. someone from that station stated they had nothing to do with this 90s station.

Nice audio, signal getting out strong around Maynooth/Leixlip/Lucan.

They are certainly using the Facebook page of an old station - a good way to get a head start on the likes as it had 1,900 already. They should remove the old Kiss FM posts though and rename the page (they'll need to contact FB for a rename).

Minor quibbles - there should be a hyphen between "non" and "stop". The web address they are advertising (nonstop90s.com) is already owned by a cyber squatter. They'll need to use a different one.

I've just let the owner know, he is not on boards.ie

Mike O' Brien

Has the station ceased already? In the middle of a song, it just went quiet, and hasn't been back since. That was a while ago.

That happened to me the other day. I tried again a couple of hours later and it was back.

Ah, that's ok. I'm just starting to get into it, so it would have been a shame if it had suddenly ended. I'll try again later so

Nineties off air since 9am this morning.

91.6 also off and Phever are on a blank carrier.

Toto Wolfcastle

They posted on Facebook that they've just been testing for the last while and that they'll be back soon on 88.1 and with an online stream.

Ronan Raver77

They are back on since this afternoon.

Audio sounds top class.

Lovely Bloke

what's the website?

TallGlass

I heard a jock on it earlier. Ronan Devitt I think, called out an 083 number to get in touch? Anyone any details.

Only downside of this station is that its appeal is potentially too broad. Rather than being left alone, that might attract the wrong type of attention.

Also, imagine if The 90s Network applied for another temporary licence and were granted use of 88.1!

we've applied for a temp for october....

Mike - Did the 90s network not dispose of all of its assets circa 2011 ? After a planned temp in 2010 had to be cancelled.

Nope. All still put away neatly in boxes! Only the pc running www.the90snetwork.com is running in the studio for the stream.
