It must be indeed very local - not much stronger than Radio Merseyside 5km out

radioguru02

Fresh FM and Retro FM silent

dxhound2005

There is a music station on 1494 kHz (approx 1493.85) Medium Wave. Very strong in Dundalk. First heard it Saturday night 24 March. Playing oldies with no announcements heard so far.

Must be local to the North East, no sign of it on the SDR in Carlow.

92.0 was still on today, which is unusual as previously it was only on weekends (when it was on 91.0).[/quote]
Yes, noticed that this afternoon. Maybe they’re trying out 24/7 broadcasting?

CRY have RDS with a while now, Play is the station in Cork on 87.8- OK in most of the city and East Cork
Cheers for the New Ross report, didn’t think there were any pirates in Wexford. Do you happen to know if these are New stations or there a while

Haven't checked CRY in a few years so makes sense.

87.8 had no RDS coming down the hill on the N71 by Spur Hill, but I checked in the city and it had the RDS PLAY 878

No idea, haven't ever checked in New Ross before. There doesn't seem to be anything on air in Waterford.

end of the road

i think the oldies station has been going quite a number of years but there is nothing online to confirm for definite.

Could someone tell me what the current dance pirate scene is around the country at the moment? 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?

Dance pirates (excluding ones that play other genres as well) that I know of include:
87.8 Play FM (Cork)
87.8 True Radio (Cork)
91.6 Phever (Dublin)
101.4 Kiss (Dublin)
104.8 Beat (Tralee, Co Kerry)
105.7 RetroNow (Meath)
106.6 Flirt (Laois)
Then there are pirates like Storm NE 104.2 in Louth, Chill FM 87.6 in Dublin, Klub FM 87.5 in Cork and OpenTempoFM 105.1 in Waterford who feature dance music but play other types of music as well.
I’m not quite sure what Empire play - I haven’t heard the station myself - but I’m pretty sure it was playing dance music or similar when it was picked up.

radioguru02

A station called Empire apparently being picked up in Carlow/Kildare on 108.0FM

radioguru02

Galaxy FM Kildare have been off air the last while. A station I have picked up once or twice in Carlow on 93.7 has returned. No RDS but I believe there was an ID at one point but the station was too weak for me to catch it at the time

to correct the above statement connect/retro/energy/kiss all came together to form fun radio im sure their is a statement some were here explaining what the station was all about easyradio as you all no is an online station only so it was not on the FM band for the broadcast

Point taken. Sorry about the assumptions that I contributed to. I promise to be more careful about what I say in future. Thanks for the clarification.

The music that I heard was a bit different from Easy Radio or its apparent successor Kiss FM. It does not seem to be emphasizing love songs or recognoisable chart stuff. That does not mean that it is not from the same stable, so to speak!

Easy Radio is now an online station with a decent schedule of presenters and slightly different types of music, with a very impressive website. 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).

Maybe Charity Radio just bought or were given the Easyradio website by Paul Wilson? 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.

Paul Wilson did have the Easy Radio website, but maybe he does not anymore. However, as you say, why would they be relaying a temporarily merged set of pirate stations called Fun Radio, most of which, by the way. had connections to Paul Wilson!? 88.1, which was used by Kiss FM (and may not be anymore!), did broadcast today as Retro Radio (apparently a relay), which is on 91.0. Yes, that was one of the multiple frequencies relaying Fun Radio yesterday. In relation to the Easy presenters, I'm sure I heard one of them, Aaron Hughes, make reference to Fun Radio at 9pm. As I was listening online at that stage, I could not be sure that it was still being broadcast by the other means at that stage. Paul Murray, who I have now discovered is an Energy presenter, was on immediately before him and he mentioned all the different ways of hearing Fun Radio, which was still happening at that stage.
