“Your Voice - The Voice of Dublin“
A new radio station is being launched tomorrow in Dublin, RealRadio, on 100.3FM. RealRadio is a talk radio station promising to give Dubliners “the chance to air their views to the people that matter, live on radio”.
There are some big radio names joining RealRadio, for example Chris Barry (the precursor to Adrian Kennedys talk show on FM104), comedian Jason Byrne, long time radio presenter and dj Greg Merriman, journalist Jason O’Callaghan and the man behind it all, Niall Boylan. Niall has worked on both 98fm and FM104 winning himself a PPI nomination in the process. He says “Dubliners love talking, they love to get their point of view across no matter how bitter and twisted it may be and that’s what’s missing in the market”.
As a sweetener to new listeners, RealRadio are offering them the chance to win €1 million…I’d like to be in with a chance to win that! You will have to tune in for details. The station will operate under a temporary licence for the month of October so presumably there will be one more millionaire in Dublin by Halloween.
RealRadio goes live on air on Monday 5 October 2009 at 8am on 100.3FM.
Thank you to Niall who made me aware of RealRadio and who will also be working at the station.
All proceeds and profits made by the station during the time it is running will be donated to the Dublin SPCA.
It’s certainly an interesting idea. Might not be the best time to be launching a radio station though. I wish all involved the best of luck.
Listening in this morning & they are having a great oul chat with Jason Byrne, so far, so good
