Look at how Pirate FM do it - always on and consistent. Because of this it is enjoyed by many outside of radio circles and gaining momentum.

The last time Fun Radio was on multiple frequencies, including 94.3, his pals from Charity Radio were involved along with himself and fellow Energy Power AM presenter/operator Paul Murray. This makes me think that whoever is behind the operation on 94.3, which sometimes runs as All 80s, has some connection to the Energy Power guys. There is also the frequency of 99.3 which relays Energy Power AM, or whatever else happens to be on 1395kh. Someone said here before that it's a streaming of Energy Power AM. How does that work? Who is behind that as well?

Detective Inspector Walsh and the radio bitches, why not get off yer asses and setup a radio station instead of yapping like auld wans over the back wall about a station that's doing nobody any harm? The lads on 94.3 provide live programming far more than any other pirate, giving space to everybody who wants to provide live entertainment. I've heard the 90s network, charity radio, retro, all 80s and fun radio all bringing live shows to a large part of Dublin without any ads or hassle. We all know most stations (incuding some legal ones) are computers plugged into a transmitter. Never heard such snobbery like 'provides no listener value' and such sh1te. Get up off yer holes and do something if you know so much about what listeners want.

Most people here realise the effort, costs, and risks of having a station on the air, usually with no financial reward and a lot of passion. And there are a lot of people depending on radio at the moment to combat isolation.

I was just curious from an anorak point of view about the individuals involved. That's all. I got a chance to tune in and I heard a guy IDing Charity Radio on 94.3 and time checking as well. It was a live broadcast. I think he said his name was Alan Hennessy. That makes sense as he was scheduled for that time on their online station. His music mix was very like Energy Power's typical music selection. It was also being relayed by Energy Power AM on 1395kh. Later on this afternoon, I happened to have it on when the 94.3 relay suddenly switched to a blank carrier. Energy Power AM was still playing music. When I checked a bit later, Energy was playing songs off its own steam as per usual. Incidentally, Retro FM was broadcasting separately on 92.0 this afternoon. Sometimes they relay those joint broadcasts I referred to.

Nobody having a go just looking to know why 94.3 gets juggled about so much. Separate note that has not been talked about in a while. Audio quality of the current pirates...thoughts anybody?
