I've not seen many but I'm very interested in Irish radio.
 
Maybe rename the board UK + Ireland...?

Not that we get a lot of traffic but... it would make sense, since English is the primary language of both countries, and they're both part of the British Isles.

Personally I don't know much about the Irish radio scene but I'm sure it would make interesting reading.

Mark.

I too would like to see more postings on Irish stations, Particularly the Rte- Radio (2 fm) (national pop station). Its similar to the bbc radio one format, last time I heard it. I wish 2 fm streamed online still.

I've just found this site today and I'm from Ireland.

I've got some recent airchecks from Irish stations if anyone is interested

Re: Maybe rename the board UK + Ireland...?

Hi guys,

Irish radio is not as good as it was in the 1980s..

www.chriscary.com for more on how it was back then.

Very heavily regulated by www.bci.ie - all stations must have 20% news and current affairs and 30% Irish music content - not very good when you consider the news segments are near 8-9 mins at the top of the hour and there's only so much U2,Corrs Westlife and Cranberries you can play in any given music hour on an AC/CHR station.
Very disappointing considering what we HAD with Nova,Q102,Sunshine 101 and Energy Power 103 FM in the 80s.
Plus,RTE would rather duplicate their AM broadcasts on both LW and AM(Medium Wave)
than to have saved Atlantic 252.
Ridiculous and most infuriating,that's mainly Irish radio scene for you,NOT exciting.
