    Probably someone with an eBay transmitter and a dipole sticking out a bedroom window.
    Just out of Curiosity I took a drive around to see where it was originating from and your spot on. Its Coming from There Bedroom. Laptop With a Virtual DJ program. And a Directional Dipole I'd say from EBay and a 50 or a 100 watt transmitter. Fair Play for having ago at it.

    I have heard True all over the City. I went to there new years event yesterday and managed to talk to the owner. He said there still waiting on a piece of equipment for there RDS to come. Once they have that there sound will be better once its installed. Are they still over modulating??

    True does not and has not ever covered the city, they got some crowd the other night

    they do on my radio in the van. There RDS system isn't on at the moment. I went to there event on new years eve and it was jointed before I got in there after waiting ages. They had to shut the doors around 8:30pm if you manually tune in the radio you will pick them up. Great Night Tbh

    True seem to be having problems with their tuner, audio is occasionally replaced by Lyric FM
    Amy other updates in Cork? That’s all I can pick up here

    Yes I have been hearing the same. I was going to post but wasn't sure if it was the weather. seems to have been sorted since tho. NRG are back on air 104.9 but signal is sketchy outside the city/surrounding areas.

    Cork could do with a mostly-live, all-underground station like Phever in Dublin, could get a decent listenership with half the students spending their Thursday nights in Dali

    Despite one or two in this thread claiming to have actually heard it (as opposed to just reading about it on facebook) , I have heard no sign of it, on 88.0 or anywhere else
    (and anyone can setup a facebook page for a radio station, be it real or fictitious)

    The only station I have heard on 88.0 whilst travelling around is Spirit from north Kerry, seems to come through relatively well on part of BallinCollig bypass,


    Also are you sure it wasn't RTE R1 rather than Lyric you were getting on 87.8 ?? RTE R1 is on 87.8 from Clermont Carn in the north east and that can often by heard that far south if other occupants of the frequency are off the air

    Nope it was Lyric definitely. True seem to have had a power decrease also, haven’t been able to pick it up today or yesterday here in Waterford

    I picked up Cityview on 97.6 with RDS but I haven't seen it on air now for a few months.

    2 weeks ago when I was on Cork it was just Power 87.5, True 87.8 and NRG 104.9 (taken at the top of Carrs Hill on the N28 on the Cork side).

    I believe they usually only broadcast on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons
    Shame if it’s gone. Surprised you haven’t picked up Caroline on 107.0 on weekend daytimes.

    The music on CUH FM is right depressing for a Saturday night if you were in hospital, Hotel California, Linger etc? Still I suppose no one listens to it

    some people must listen to it as otherwise it wouldn't be on.

    ticking a box on a form does not make you of a religion.

    The role of the BAI is licence stations, it's the role of Comreg to remove unlicensed stations (as needed). You could argue that tight regulation by the BAI has forced the need for pirates to operate unlicensed.
