Lite FM Compromised

Yeah, It's definitely playing "menamena"
one of the links said "Q FM", probably someone broadcasting a stringer signal on the same frequency.

The guy doing the links insists he's "locked himself in the lite fm studio, trying set up a new station, Q102.2"

Someone should record this, my MP3 player wont record from the radio.

I'm recording it, and I have the site saved. I'll take a screenshot and post it now in a minute.

He's actually in the studio, locked in. It's classic stuff.

It's certainly working though, isn't it :OP

Ah ya gotta admit it's pure genius. Two of my friends have already phoned telling me to tune in ("Rays gone MAD he's taken over litefm!").

They'll get great ratings today for this and hopefully be a decent base from which to relaunch the station as something decent.

I normally hate advertising types but credit where credit is due to whoever came up with this one!

(and don't ya love the way the hackers are courteous enough to let the ads and the news runs as normal and on time )

They just talked about it on the news... It's a bit of a ****ed up publicity stunt isn't it? I wouldn't have thought it'd appeal to the typical lite fm listener.

Aye, sounds like they might be relaunching to appeal to a different market then..

leeroybrown - I think it's plain it's a publicity stunt. It's even admitted as being one on radiowaves.fm

"Big Brother star Ray Shah has taken over Lite FM's on-air studios and refuses to vacate them until negotiations are complete for a decent new radio station for Dublin. That's the bizarre method that Lite FM are using to relaunch their station as Q102. The station's RDS reads ' MUPPET ' and Ray has been playing an old Muppets classic tune non-stop since 8.30 this morning - apparently every single listener is requesting it. The station's website has also been 'hijacked' with the lyrics of the song superimposed over the old Lite FM page"

Has the world gone mad? No really, has it?

Ray "took over the station" yet still let the news be read out this morning. on the hour.

Works for me. It's a good enough effort to make me tune in next week to see what they have to offer. In saying that, I do like LiteFM and i'll miss it. It was a better station than most.

Aye. By the sounds of it, they're going to turn this station into a 'wacky and crazy' spin103.8 clone.

And Spin is fecking DIRE.

if i could be bothered to stand up i would go turn it off. I like Lite FM, great music, only problem was how small there playlist was. that's why (IMHO) the station was loosing listeners.

from what i have read on this, they are keeping the same kind of music but dropping a lot of there talking or something.....must go dig out the Pheonix mag that had an article on this

Hmm...so long as it doesn't turn into another crappy 98/104/spin clone, that's ok. But if their music policy has changed, I think complaints to Comreg would be more than justified.

I reckon it'll be ok, UTV own that station and they know their onions when it comes to radio..
