I noticed it last night too. I thought Q102 was gone silent, but I think it was the RDS that was gone!

I see 9 days ago someone registered ViriginRadio.ie (no web site yet). Wasn't there a rumour before that Q102 would rebrand to Virgin?

I'm sure it's likely to be unrelated and they are probably getting their RDS unit replaced.

I'd say a lot will! They've had presenters on the online stream for the past few weeks. I'd assume everyone has been testing the equipment.

Is the Ballsbridge Hotel their main studio again this year?

Smells like teen spirit playing now on Smooth in Dublin. Bit of an odd choice for a station called Smooth.

Smooth Grunge?

is there any sort of online presence for smooth 93.2?

Pirate on 88.8 around Glanmire this evening. The old 87.8 frequency used by pirates including True FM recently is out of bounds now due to Xmas on 87.7 in North Cork.

Still no sign of Xmas on 106.7 in Cork. Most of the rest seem to be on air.

I wasn't able to find anything, it appears to be a temporary effort - maybe Extreme FM wasn't working so they are trying this format to see how it goes?

Zenith Classic Rock are on 3935 kHz LSB. Good signal in Dundalk, and on the SDR's. Particularly strong on the Kilkenny SDR.

106.7 came on air overnight (shortly before 2AM) in time for their launch today at Midday

Indeed I noticed when going to bed that it had come on.. someone was working late.

Signal is from the south side of the city by my reckoning, areas with shielding tucked in along by the South Ring Road cause the car radio to switch to 87.7

On a separate note, their frequencies this year (18 in total) are very allowing of long distance listening. The journey from Dublin to Cork now has near full coverage with the odd blip (105.2 -> 88.1 -> 104.3 -> 87.7 -> 106.7). I did notice that commuters who listen to Spin1038 on their journeys to Kildare will be affected, 103.8 from Blackstairs now wipes Spin after Naas heading west. Other Three Rock services are clear as far as Laois from there

i think all though i'm open to correction that it's ICMR rather then ICE.
ICMR (irishcountrymusicradio.com) is what came up for me in a google search for ICE radio country anyway.

Country and Irish music radio was Joe’s second temp service. CIMR. The following year it added the hot country to the title also.
But yes you guys are correct. Joe did run country station called ICE FM. It was the departure for him and a lot of staff from radio Dublin. And at the time they were right to make a departure. I think it was around 2001 ish.

Initially, the temporary licensed station was called IMR (Irish Music Radio). I think it was the first of the temporary stations way back in 2003. This played a mixture of Irish music, including rock - I remember it. I think it had another run with that name before there was a temporary license stint for CIMR. I'm not sure how many times it ran as CIMR (once, maybe twice?), but it's next evolution Hot Country ran for a few years. The last temporary license run in Dublin that Joe Doyle was involved with, in 2010, was for Heartbeat FM, a former pirate, along with Tony O'Hara. He was with Heartbeat last year for a temporary license run in Offaly.

Were you involved with ICE, Paul? I know you turned up on Hot Country and later Heartbeat's temporary run.

Slightly right, slightly wrong.
Joe does have a company called heartbeat radio services which have had a couple of temp licences in Edenderry, under the names of YAG FM and Eden FM.
The first licence back in the day was IMR Dublin, it the went to CIMR, then hot country was brought into the name. When there was high insight that the north east country music licence was never going to happen we decided to bring back Heartbeat. We tried to give a country music format to the north east but hey who knows. So we went back to what we knew best and that was lovesongs. So that happened in 2010.
Joe moved out of Dublin shortly after and continued his passion and went after temps in Edenderry. And I was very busy looking after a bus
