Death notices on the Radio

And now RIP.ie is eating that lunch on the radio sector.

I think the punters tune in to make sure they’re not dead themselves!

Still very popular.

Often wondered if Dublin had proper local radio, would the practice have taken off here..

I mentioned this phenomenon recently on another thread.

A Dub, I purchased a cottage in rural Laois 20 years ago. For a few months whilst doing major restoration I had to depend on a radio, had no TV, barely electricity. I recall vividly switching on and picking up local stations, out of nowhere, obituaries started, I thought mother of God, this has to be a mistake, turned the dial and another station doing the same thing, I thought mother of God, what have I let myself in for 🤣, I even called friends in Dublin, they thought I'd lost the plot all together and move back quickly.

This may seem odd to country folk but this is not something, I'd never heard in Dublin, I'm not even aware it is done on Dublin station's.

So there you go, a blow in's first experience of obituaries on local radio, 20 years later, cottage restored and still a blow in 😁

Lol ,it's the weekend edition Cawlur 🤣
