Plenty on dab though?

radioguru02

Oh absolutely... but without full city coverage of any of their muxes and a lack of interest in DAB amongst the people I’m not as optimistic as I’d like to be

The following were still around Dublin this weekend by all accounts and I heard a number of them myself:
FM:
Chill FM - 87.6
Pirate FM - 88.1
Retro FM - 92.0
The 90s Network - 98.4
Relay of Energy - 99.3
Fresh FM - 99.5
Easy Radio - 105.2
The Beach - 105.7
Also Dundalk's Storm NE in some parts - 104.2

AM/MW:
Energy (Power) AM - 1395 kh

That's still a lot of pirates around Dublin.

There are a few, yes - however most have part time broadcast hours or limited coverage of Dublin. The exception being Pirate FM.

Three full time FM dance stations have been lost in the space of 6 weeks.

The oldies-oriented pirates (I include Easy in that, although it is a love songs station and does play the odd more recent song) are now outnumbering the dance-specific pirates.

I don't think 1025kiss is lost, just storm damage. I'm sure they will be back.
Unfortunately Phever had to go as they where warned many times with ComReg.
With regards xtreme, pity but that's life. they had a tough start as people where not sure what there market was. In the last while they sorted that.

Can't see 1025 Kiss fm returning soon if ever. If they were bothered they would have fixed it by now or got an internet stream going as stop gap.

It can be picked up well in Nutgrove, Dundrum, Kilmacud, Stillorgan and sporadically around Ballinteer. It comes and goes along the Ballinteer Road close to the M50.

Actually, I have noticed recently that Pirate FM was reaching well into north Dublin and beyond.

How many 24/7 pirates do we have in Dublin now?

Sunnyboy11

So far as I know at this time there are two pirates on 24/7 they are Pirate FM on 88.1 and that other load of rubbish on 99.5 with horrible audio and signal, sounds like something from Transylvania from Dracula’s castle awful.

Mr. MooYagi

Serious muck on 99.5 Fresh. Nothing fresh sounding there by any means. It is a joke if they think anybody is listening to that. Obviously not a clue as to what they're doing. How is it still on? Get it together lads, you're getting a seriously bad name for yourselves...

They will for sure if they keep that ****e on air. It's toxic.

Pirate FM was carrying well into Navan on the car radio today while Sunday I had it almost as far as Drogheda on the M 1 before BBC and some hilly terrain began to hurt it. Admittedly 88.1FM is a gem of a frequency and it is helped by RTE 1's tight low modulated signal and it's own well engineered signal and output but even that aside it's an impressive feat to have such coverage.

Sad day when there are only two FM pirates left on Dublin’s airwaves, if you could even call Fresh a station

I flipped over to DAB in Dublin. Not a bad selection there. They probably just need to fine tune the coverage. Its still a bit glitchy in parts of North Dublin

The signal is very good but there are major black spots - Dublin South East and as mentioned by another poster , the M50 past exit 14.
The signal eg Rathfarnham is below that required for RDS but improves quickly as you go south West.

As for RTE tight low modulated signal - interference of that nature tends only to be an issue on cheaper radios.
