Radio waves all set for 4FM

Radio listeners across Clare who are weary of current radio fare will be cheered on Friday, February 27th, when 4FM, Ireland’s first multi-city radio station, starts broadcasting.

The easy-listening station has been licensed to broadcast to Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Clare. 4FM’s brief is to serve a diet of intelligent chat and golden oldies for people who grew up on the sounds of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

To lure the greying listeners, the line-up includes veteran presenters including former 2FM DJs Gareth O’Callaghan and Jimmy Greeley, former Newstalk broadcaster Damien Kiberd, Derek Davis and RTÉ’s Tom McGurk, who will present the evening drivetime show, reports the Irish Times newspaper.
