Declan A Walsh wrote: » Zenith Classic Rock:https://www.zenithclassicrock.com/ The presenters:https://www.zenithclassicrock.com/presenters Do they actually know that they are part of an illegal broadcast in this Dublin DAB? The one in Cork isn't illegal, neither were their online broadcasts or their temporary licence runs over the last 8 or 9 years.

Declan A Walsh wrote: » Okay, I may be a bit confused about DAB in general. I'm not an expert. However, according to a previous post, Zenith had been involved a few years ago in a licensed trial DAB Multiplex in Dublin. Obviously, that is different from FreeDAB. As I say, I am not an expert! I saw elsewhere that they have been involved in a licensed DAB trial in Cork. 8Radio.com are currently available on DAB in Cork. Is that the same FreeDAB that is illegal? If so, there are some strange things happening in the radio world at the moment. They have also been on a number of temporary licenses including this year. In fact, they were available on DAB in Cork during their last temporary license run! CORRECTION: 8Radio.com are on EIRDAB in Cork. I think that is different from FreeDAB from what I can see! So, that it probably not an issue at all.

Declan A Walsh wrote: » As has been pointed out by others, this Freedab is unlicensed, i.e. illegal, so that may put off a considerable amount of would-be or online stations such as "good 60s & 70s station".
hustlergraham wrote: » OK I think we get the fact that it's illegal at this stage Declan. Pirates on FM are "illegal" too. Do you know any decent 60s & 70s stations that would fit?
Dipole Keith wrote: » I know it’s illegal but it’s not the stations that will get hit when it’s raided it’s the Freedab Operators & site owners, So the stations on it have nothing to lose.
