Every week now there is a merger or a relay! Incidentally, 91.0 was about 30 seconds or so ahead of 88.1, so I would guess that 88.1 was a relay of Retro from 91.0. I did hear three different presenters on Retro during the course of the day (I listened fleetingly at different times!): Derek Jones, an unidentified presenter and the ubiquitous Paul Wilson. From what I heard of Chill. it seemed to be automated, playing nondescript vaguely countryish music. And this time Energy Power AM on 1395 was doing it's own thing.

It is quite different from its pirate origins even though Paul Wilson still seems to be running the show. The station website also emphasizes charities. Yesterday, Fun Radio was being relayed on Easy Radio, as well as 88.1, 91.0, 92.0 and 1395 (AM).

Please use our new hashtag #Easytolistento on your post, tweets Comments, and shares. Thanks, Easy Radio Team." The FB page still has the Charity Radio handles though.

But I guess if that were the case they wouldn’t’ve relayed Fun Radio Edit: Easy (Charity Radio) doesn’t appear to be operated by Paul Wilson, perhaps they were another part of the merge? Wasn’t there a mention of some of these new Easy Radio presenters appearing on Fun? As an aside it appears Kiss FM is relaying 91FM in Dublin on its stream. In other words, a weak 2FM can be heard on their stream now, obviously they relayed Fun Radio as well when it was on or something.

I think Phever is the only one in Dublin that I am aware of currently broadcasting (on 91.6). Trax is still off on 107.1. Unless of course the dance pirate from west Dublin called Kiss FM is still on 101.4 - can't pick it up around my area. I take it that some or all or all of the pirates in Cork are dance pirates - which ones? Maybe, the ones around Carlow and Kildare, such as Empire and Galaxy? What about the rest of the country?
