Freedom to close

Dublin chart music station Freedom 92FM announced today that they were to close. The shock announcement was made on this afternoon’s Mike O’Brien show and the station were flooded with phone-calls, texts and emails from distraught listeners.
“Some of the listeners were in tears,” Mike told Radiowaves News. It was later admitted that it was an April Fool’s Day hoax.

Freedom to make an FM return

Freedom FM are to make a return to Dublin's FM band from September 18th. The former pirate station, who returned as an online outfit last year, will broadcast for thirty days consecutively under a temporary licence granted by the BAI. Freedom FM first appeared in March 1995, broadcasting from a garden shed in Templeogue. It ran until the infamous Black Tuesday raids of May 2003. The majority of the old familiar names will be involved with the new Freedom FM, which will broadcast on 105.2MHz.
