CLASSIC HITS
Classic Hits is a multi-city station. It launched as 4FM on February 27th 2009 at 6am with Gareth O’Callaghan.

The station covers the country’s major population centres of Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway. Because of the terrain Co Clare is also covered in the transmission area.
The station is licensed as an easy-listening station for over 45s.
There is also a major emphasis on speech programming.
4FM is Ireland’s new multi-city radio station, broadcasting to counties Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Clare.
At launch
With a repertoire covering more than 50 years, 4FM plays the widest selection of music on the radio – from classic and mainstream songs to a specialist portfolio including jazz, soul, rock ‘n’ roll, standards, music from the movies and musicals, as well as motown, MOR and soft ballads.
We guarantee to play the richest mix of music you’ll hear on the radio, as well as a unique blend of programming with upbeat music truly at its heart.
The station struggled in its early years with a lot of its original speech programming dropped or moved around in the schedule. A rebrand to Classic Hits 4FM occurred in 2011. The 4FM part of the name was dropped in 2018.
