National radio transmitter outage?

zell12 · 2021-04-23 08:13:08

Is RTE/TodayFM/Newstalk reception down for Galway people? It was down repeatedly yesterday for hours, just dead air and down now at 09:06, just static

Yes, there was an announcement played on Radio 1 which cut in over the start of Ryan Tubridy this morning and yesterday morning. There will be interruptions to that transmitter for next 7 hours. Its probably the Maghera transmitter in Clare

I was picking up stations in the car, but now it is off in the house. I was probably getting the signal from Sligo in the car. I could probably also pick it up in the house by retuning.

Thanks for the info. The two radios in the house only produced white noise yesterday morning, but were back in action mid afternoon. Was wondering what was going on.
