Barry Dunne's Pirate Radio Stations

Declan A Walsh

Barry Dunne has got a lot of mention lately as a result of being the main person that makes the phone calls for the Bauer Media stations' Cash Machine. He has been with Dublin's 98FM for a long time now and more recently has started presenting on Today FM once a week.

Barry started on pirate radio in Dublin during the late 1980s right up until the mid 1990s.

Those stations included:

Radio Dublin

DLR

KHTR (forerunner to early Sunset FM)

NSR

Sunset FM

Coast FM

Radio City (station based in restaurant of same name in Rathmines in 1994)

Radio Dublin Country (short-lived offshoot of Radio Dublin in 1994, not to be confused with when Radio Dublin went all country itself some years later)

Hot 107

I know that Barry was involved, besides NSR, with some Kevin Branigan led stations in the late 1980s. Would they include Kiss 106 and/or Signal? I think he may have turned up on Ballyfermot's Smile FM in December 1988 as well. If you have any clarifications or further stations, please add to this.

Possible stations that Barry was with in 1988 include Zee 104 from Stillorgan and Q107 from Ballyfermot.

It would be great if Barry Dunne followed the example of Ronan Scanlan who supplied his stations for the thread dedicated to him!
