Club are playing one per hour which is the same 30 second long one that Storm are playing. No Corona ads heard on Pulse FM or Pure FM. Haven't checked Easy Radio or Pirate FM yet, although Easy do have a message on their RDS radio text.

You can be fairly sure that the listeners to Storm won't have already heard the adverts on RTE Radio 1. Fair play to them. Back in 1996 I remember Coast 105 FM observed the broadcast industry minute of silence for Veronica Guerin. It was done as an expression of respect for someone who paid the ultimate price for freedom of the press. If you can do some good on a human level, why not do it - pirate or not?

However, I read here or some other forum that Simon Maher still had the frequency 105.3/105.4, which ye came to some arrangement with dance station Q95 for. Your good self and Simon came on with The Anorak Hour and radio news on Sundays at 1pm as you had previously done! Or, if the minute's silence was in July, it could have been Simon's next station Spectrum on 100.7.

Infoanon wrote: » It's not unusual for an 80s station to have a few late 70s or early 90s on the playlist - it can be explained as the late 70s songs where hits in the 80s (chart or airplay ) and the early 90s sings may have been recorded in eg 89. Re All 80s relay, it is in stereo - it's very possible that the mono reception earlier was due to the over modulated audio on 94.1

That's the easy bit. It's the intelligence gathering part that's more difficult generally but not with our detectives on the forum.

And is it the same unidentified station that was on 94.3 for a while and causing even more complications - two stations on the same frequency? At one point a station, possibly on 94.3, was identifying as Dizzy FM. Could this be the same station? What about Phever FM which used to be on 94.3, and, briefly more recently, turned up on 91.6? Is there any connection there?
