They say everything in life is temporary, then radio in Dublin is certainly proof of this.
Currently we have Hot Country CIMR broadcasting on a temp licence.
They will be joined by 94.9 The Rock with their ten week temp licence.
Then on Saturday The 90s Network takes to the airwaves from Donaghmede for their temporary crack at things.
Three stations all on the air and all gone by the New Year!!
90s Network is definitely the most interesting of the three. Not because the other two have no appeal (they definitely do), but rather because it's a format that has never been on air in this market before (are there many 90s only stations anywhere)?
How will they do?
I don't know, but I'm certainly interested to hear how it sounds.
There are some well heeled radio people behind this station like Paul Duffy from Dublin's 98 and Jason Dee. Their enthusiasm and knowledge is not in question.
I have a feeling it will be a very tight and fast format with good production values (that's what these guys are all about).
Will we be able to handle nothing but 90s all day? I'll give it a go.
Freq is 99.5
