How do they think anyone is happy to listen to it. I heard NOW yesterday and it reminded me of the hold music when on call to an indian call centre. If they sort the signal out the music they play is actually ok.

I just tuned into Now. Good lord. Hot FM'S tech must be have been up at their site LOL!!! In mono but RDS seems to be back. They are actually lower than Hot.

Seriously wtf is going on with these two pirates lately. They really haven't a clue how to do anything.

Now fm back from being on a blank carrier. They are in a competition with Hot fm today to see who can have the lowest volume. Maybe it’s a new tactic? Switch off rds and stereo and turn the volume way down. That way comreg wont hear you and you will be left alone.

10 points for branding, 0 points for transmission and audio.

I recorded some clips earlier of the pirates that I can pick up in my part of Dublin - as they sound on FM. All are 128kbps Mp3.

Trax and Phever sound great as always. Now and Hot shockingly bad.

What's the story with Now FM's audio? Way too loud and distortion all over the place. Looks like their technical expertise is as good as Hot FM's.

All that money they have... and they sound absolutely sh*te. Do they not have ears?

Hot Fm Dublin seemed to have increased power again. However there still broadcasting in mono plus no RDS.
Like pirate radio back in the 90s

They have the skills of a teenager that saved up his pocket money to buy his first NRG Kits transmitter. Even some of the 90s stations werent as bad as this.

They keep playing Dizzee Rascal Bassline Junkie (Explicit Version) all the time. Very stupid. Its either this or the B-B-B-Bobby Joe song.

There are no pirates on air in Cork at the minute with multiple TXs. The effort involved is just too much. One we'll placed TX will get in the city, suburbs and a good chunk of the county

The last pirate I know of to take coverage that seriously was UCB who had a powerful city TX and a powerful West Cork TX at Nowen Hill, along with two relays in Kerry.

Out of interest, how does it work in Cork for a pirate are there multiple TXs for the area or broadcasting only to the city?

to the best of my knowledge, it's mostly 1 tx, broadcasting as far as they can. there was at least 1 station (kiss 105.5) back in the early 2000s which had 2 txs for a time, the second tx was for north cork i think.

Yeah, it’s a real shame. Driving through Cork last night they were live and sounding nice

It does say a new management team on the bottom of the note. I reckon a new crowd have bought it over.

As promised a reception report for Energy1395 am .
Pity you weren't there for my return drive on Sunday -- next time when more "improvements" have been made.
Out of interest the signal gets worse as the evening draws in and the skywave kicks in .
Keep it up !

Now fm in dublin had some shows today so made effort to listen. I like the idea but poor signal very scartchy. Sounds far too loud and suffering obvious distortion maybe because of that.

Agree, they have potential to be big, if they only up the power and maybe tweak their processing a little. Their online stream is raw audio, unprocessed. I'm sure they'll get it all sorted soon.

PVR/Trax are in a different league. Been said many times before here. Great that Storm still going as well.

Hot have done something to fix their fm signal. The boss is in town so probably didnt want to get in trouble when he heard how bad it was.

Oh god no!! Now FM are ok, plenty of money under them but still haven't managed a good signal for some reason. It's never gonna be KW's anyway. (Phever was at one stage I think) 300 -400W should do it as from what i believe it's only 100 - 200W at the moment.

Who ever is over NOW FM, all I can say is you are onto a winner. Get the audio and signal under control.

The online Audio, feed sounds alright, the signal is all over the place and I mean that in the best way possible. It's bad on the M50 best way I can put it, easily needs around 3/4Kw on that Freq.

Other than that good job, I have pre set and will keep tuning in where I can.
