104 Candles.


It's a happy 20th birthday to Dublin's FM104 tomorrow.
I remember the station starting off, as the city's first ever local commercial. Back then it was known as Capital 104.4FM and broadcast from a portakabin on top of the Stephens Green Centre (what was it with radio stations and portakabins back then)??
I spent a very short while there during the early 90s - happy to be able to say I did that.
Capital eventually morphed into Rock104...that didn't last too long, before becoming the FM104 we know now.

My favourite era for the station is the time when Colm hosted the mornings with Joan and Justin McKenna.
Happy Birthday to all involved now and all of those who helped mold the station in the past...that's a lot of people.
